The UAE air force engaged a drone over its territorial waters that had come from Iran, the defence ministry said in a statement on Monday.
– It did not provide further details on the drone, including whether it was shot down or its intended target.
– The UAE foreign ministry later strongly condemned the Iranian drone attack as “a dangerous escalation that represents a flagrant violation of the state’s sovereignty, security and stability.”
– It said the UAE reserved its full right to respond and called for an immediate halt to the attacks.
