Iran’s Drone SWARM Targets UAE: Abu Dhabi Claims 2,200 UAVs DESTROYED Since The Start Of War

Fresh tensions are escalating across the Gulf after the UAE confirmed its air defence systems intercepted two drones launched from Iran. UAE authorities say the drones were destroyed before causing casualties, but the latest incident comes amid a massive regional security crisis. According to the UAE Ministry of Defence, the country has intercepted 551 ballistic missiles, 29 cruise missiles, and more than 2,200 drones since the attacks began. Civilian casualties continue to rise, with 10 deaths and over 230 injuries reported so far involving multiple nationalities. As fears grow that the Israel-Iran conflict is spreading deeper across the Middle East, the UAE says its armed forces remain fully prepared to counter any threat targeting national security and strategic infrastructure.
