The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defence confirmed today that its air defence units successfully engaged and neutralized a coordinated Iranian attack consisting of 12 ballistic missiles, 3 cruise missiles, and 4 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The Ministry released updated statistics detailing the scale of the "blatant Iranian aggression" faced by the nation. To date, the UAE’s multi-layered defense shield has successfully intercepted a staggering cumulative total of:
- 2,260 UAVs
- 549 Ballistic missiles

The successful interception of all 19 threats in this latest wave underscores the high state of readiness and technical proficiency of the UAE Armed Forces.
Military officials reiterated their commitment to safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty and protecting civilian infrastructure from ongoing regional escalations.
This latest engagement follows a series of condemnations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has held Iran fully responsible for the consequences of these repeated strikes on civilian and national interests.
