UAE Temporarily Closes Airspace Amid Missile and Drone Threats from Iran

The United Arab Emirates temporarily closed its airspace as an exceptional precautionary measure amid escalating regional security tensions involving missile and drone threats from Iran. The closure was announced by the General Civil Aviation Authority and later lifted, with air traffic returning to normal. Concurrently, the UAE's defence ministry reported active responses to these threats, including successful interceptions. Operations at the Shah gas field were suspended following a drone attack that caused a fire, which has since been contained without injuries.
