The United Arab Emirates' defence ministry said on Tuesday that its air defences were dealing with missile and drone attacks from Iran, a second day of attacks after four weeks of relative calm since the United States announced a ceasefire.
The Gulf Arab state's foreign ministry said in a statement that the attacks were a serious escalation and posed a direct threat to the state's security, adding that the UAE reserved its "full and legitimate right" to respond.
On Monday evening, the UAE had said its air defences were engaging missile and drone threats as firefighters battled a blaze at a major oil industry zone following a drone attack that authorities said had originated from Iran.
