The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority temporarily closed the country’s airspace as a precautionary measure amid Iranian missile and drone threats, with the Ministry of Defence intercepting 6 ballistic missiles and 21 drones before operations resumed. Separately, a drone attack caused a fire at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, the second such incident within 24 hours, with UAE Civil Defence teams responding and no injuries reported. False X posts claiming an Iranian drone strike on Dubai International Airport fuel tanks were debunked as recycled 2020 footage from an Ajman market fire.
