A civilian was killed in Iranian strikes that hit Abu Dhabi on Saturday, the UAE’s ministry of defence said in a statement, as Tehran launched attacks across the Gulf in retaliation for US and Israeli strikes.
The defence ministry reported “the fall of some missile debris in a residential area” of Abu Dhabi that “resulted in one civilian death of an Asian nationality”.
The US-Israel strikes on Iran ignited a massive chain reaction as Tehran launched a missile salvo across the Middle East, targeting Washington bases.
Apart from Abu Dhabi, explosions were heard in UAE’s Dubai, Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh, Qatar’s Doha, Kuwait as well as Bahrain among other Gulf areas.
