Iranian drones struck military facilities in the UAE
The situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly complex. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense announced that drones launched by Iran struck a military-naval facility in Abu Dhabi. As a result of this attack, a fire broke out at the "Al-Salam" naval base.
According to Reuters, drone and missile debris falling in Abu Dhabi and Dubai caused damage to several infrastructure facilities, and loud explosions were heard in Abu Dhabi. The UAE Ministry of Defense emphasized that this situation will not go unanswered.
The official statement declared that the country retains the right to take all necessary measures to protect its territory and national interests. This indicates that the Gulf conflict may escalate to a broader military-political response phase.
Additionally, concerning incidents are occurring in Iraq as well. Explosions took place following a drone attack on a US military base near Erbil airport.
According to Reuters, the Erbil airbase is a significant strategic point for US and coalition forces. Any attack in this direction targets not only Iraq but also the US military presence in the region.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims that US military infrastructure in Kuwait was attacked. These claims indicate damage to the Al-Salim base, but these statements have not been confirmed by independent sources.
Therefore, these claims should be treated with caution. Also, there have been reports about six high-ranking CIA officers being killed in the UAE.
So far, this information has not been confirmed by independent international sources. Hence, such information should not be accepted as definite fact.
In conclusion, the drone strike in Abu Dhabi, explosions around Erbil, and claims in Kuwait are further intensifying the crisis in the Middle East. The hostilities are now affecting not only military facilities but also major cities and strategic logistics points.
This shows that the situation in the region is escalating with each passing hour.
