ABU DHABI (The Thursday Times) — Air defence systems were activated across the UAE late on Monday after authorities detected incoming aerial threats, with officials confirming the successful interception of multiple objects over the country’s territorial waters.
The UAE Ministry of Defence said four cruise missiles were detected, with three successfully engaged over the country’s territorial waters, while one fell into the sea. The ministry said the sounds heard in different parts of the country were the result of air defence systems engaging the threats.
