After three days of Iranian attacks on the UAE \u2014 and the wider region \u2014 we <\/strong>have a handful of more<\/strong> positive updates<\/strong>, with the regional airspace opening up slightly after being completely closed off since Saturday and minimal damage reported in the UAE yesterday. The Emirates have so far absorbed the worst of Iran\u2019s attacks, which were triggered by a US-Israeli assault on the weekend.<\/p>\n

Drone and missile interception operations continued<\/strong>, with the Defense Ministry<\/a> saying it fought off nine ballistic missiles, six cruise missiles, and 148 drones yesterday alone. That is a much slower tempo than the 165 ballistic missiles and 541 Iranian drones the UAE was subject to on the first two days of the war. <\/p>\n

Among the incident<\/strong>s reported were <\/strong>one of debris falling<\/a><\/strong> somewhere in the Al Hamra <\/strong>Village <\/strong>area in Ras Al Khaimah<\/strong>, with no injuries or casualties resulting from the incident, and another of a fire<\/a> from a drone attack on the Musaffah fuel tank terminal, which didn\u2019t impact operations or result in any injuries. In the early hours of the morning, the Defense Ministry said<\/a> that forces intercepted a salvo of ballistic missiles from Iran. <\/p>\n

Where <\/strong>do things stand this morning? <\/strong>Here\u2019s what we know as of dispatch time:<\/p>\n
