Tensions have intensified in the Middle East as explosions were heard in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital city Abu Dhabi, as well as in Dubai; Doha; and Riyadh, hours after Israel and the United States launched what they described as “major combat operations” against Iran.
One person was killed in Abu Dhabi after authorities in the UAE said they intercepted missiles launched from Iran, news agency Reuters reported.
One witness told the news agency that she heard five booms in rapid succession, causing windows in a house near Abu Dhabi’s Corniche to vibrate.
