Separately, the UAE reported one Egyptian killed and four others, Egyptians and Pakistanis, injured in fires at the Habshan gas complex in the Al Dhafra region, about 150 km from Abu Dhabi. The complex supplies roughly 80 percent of the UAE’s daily gas needs.
Bahrain and Saudi Arabia
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry reported air raid alarms twice Saturday morning, urging residents to seek shelter. No casualties or damages were detailed.
Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense also activated early-warning alarms in the Eastern Province, later declaring the threat neutralized.
Qatar defense
Qatar said its military successfully intercepted Iranian drones. Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani had earlier warned against attacks on vital infrastructure, including water, food, and energy facilities, amid ongoing regional escalation.
The war, ongoing since February 28, has led to thousands of Iranian casualties, with Tehran retaliating against US and 'Israel' interests in the Gulf. Civilian sites in the UAE, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia suffered damage, prompting condemnation from affected countries.
