The UAE Air Force responded to an uncrewed aerial vehicle detected over the country’s territorial waters, the Ministry of Defence announced, with the drone having approached from the direction of Iran.
The Ministry said the Armed Forces remain at a high state of readiness to counter potential threats, and that air defence systems are monitoring the country’s airspace around the clock. No further details on the UAV’s origin, type, or how the response was carried out were provided.
The Ministry urged the public to rely exclusively on official sources for information and to avoid sharing unverified content.
