Iran launched 13 ballistic missiles and 27 drones toward the United Arab Emirates, according to the UAE Ministry of Defense. The attack occurred on Wednesday, marking the 19th day since joint Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran began. The ministry reported that since the start of hostilities, the UAE has faced a total of 327 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,699 drone attacks.

The strikes are part of Iran’s continued retaliation against U.S. military bases in Gulf countries following the earlier attacks on its territory. The report, citing Al Jazeera, highlights the growing intensity of the conflict in the Gulf region as Iran expands its counterstrikes beyond its borders.

The situation underscores rising instability in the Gulf, with regional energy and security infrastructures increasingly at risk as hostilities persist.
