UAE says air defences dealt with two drones coming from Iran

The United Arab ​Emirates' air defences dealt ⁠with two drones coming from Iran on Sunday, ‌the Defence Ministry said, the latest ‌in renewed attacks ‌on ⁠the oil-rich Gulf country.

The ⁠UAE has reported being attacked in the past days ​by Iran after ‌four weeks of relative calm since a ceasefire in the ‌Iran war was announced ​by the United States.

Iran has denied ⁠carrying out operations against the UAE in recent ‌days, yet it warned of a "crushing response" if any actions were launched from the UAE against it.

The ‌attacks prompted the UAE ​to shift to remote learning for schools ⁠last week, but authorities ⁠said on Sunday that in-person learning would ‌resume from Monday.
