The United Arab Emirates has rejected reports that Iran launched a missile attack on the Al Minhad Air Base, described in the source as a US military base in the country. The UAE Defence Ministry issued the denial in a statement posted on X, calling media reports about a missile strike on the base unfounded.

Earlier, Iran said on Monday that it had carried out an attack using several dozen drones against US military bases in the UAE. Tehran described the reported action as a response to a US attack, according to the source.

The UAE had previously said that an Iranian drone was shot down in its waters. The source does not provide further details on the reported drone incident, the alleged Iranian operation, or any damage or casualties.
