A ballistic missile was intercepted by the air defense system over Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, according to the Abu Dhabi Media Office. The incident occurred on March 28, 2026, when debris from the destroyed missile fell in the Khalifa Economic Zone, injuring five Indian nationals.

Earlier, the Abu Dhabi Media Office had posted on social media platform X that emergency teams were responding to two fire incidents in the same area. The office later confirmed that the injuries resulted from missile debris rather than the fires.

The report did not specify the source of the missile or further details about the broader security situation in the region.
