Falling debris from an intercepted attack injured a worker in Abu Dhabi, while a separate drone strike targeted a building in Fujairah.
ABU DHABI: Falling debris from an intercepted attack injured one person in an industrial area of Abu Dhabi, authorities in the United Arab Emirates said.
The Abu Dhabi government’s media office stated that authorities responded to an incident of falling debris on the Raneen Systems company in the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi in the Musaffah area, following a successful interception by air defence systems.
The incident resulted in moderate injuries to a Ghanaian national, according to the official statement.
In the northeastern emirate of Fujairah, authorities also reported that a telecommunications building was targeted by an Iranian drone, but there were no injuries.
These attacks come a day after authorities in the city of Sharjah said they were dealing with an incident that targeted the key port of Khor Fakkan in the Gulf of Oman.
Pakistani nationals were reportedly wounded when a projectile was intercepted over Sharjah, prompting Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to post on social media that he was deeply concerned.
Gulf nations have borne the brunt of Iran’s retaliatory attacks since the US and Israel launched strikes in late February that ignited a regional war.
The UAE has been the main target of missiles and drones fired across the Gulf.
