Authorities in Abu Dhabi said Thursday that falling debris from an intercepted missile caused minor damage near an industrial area, with no injuries reported.
The incident occurred near Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi after air defense systems intercepted a missile, the Emirates News Agency reported.
Officials said the debris caused limited material damage and confirmed there were no casualties.
Tensions in the region have escalated since Israel and the US launched a joint offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, resulting in more than 1,340 deaths, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and infrastructure damage while disrupting global markets and aviation.
