The United Arab Emirates said on Monday that it successfully intercepted several missiles fired from Iran.
The reported attack is the first time that the UAE has activated its missile warning system since the US and Iran began a testing ceasefire on April 8.
The development, which was not immediately confirmed in Iranian state media, further weakens the temporary ceasefire, already strained by new US troops in the Strait of Hormuz.
“Due to the current situation, including potential missile threats, immediately seek shelter in the nearest secure building,” an alert sent to Dubai and Abu Dhabi on Monday evening local time warned people.
