Abu Dhabi authorities said two people were killed and three wounded when shrapnel from a ballistic missile interception fell on a main road. In Iran, IRNA reported that two teenage brothers were killed Wednesday evening in a strike on a residential area in Shiraz county.
Why it matters
Civilian deaths from interception debris show that even successful air defense leaves Gulf cities exposed while Iran keeps firing at states hosting U.S. forces.
