The UAE Defense Ministry said its air defenses were again intercepting ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones launched from Iran. Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters said its forces had carried out no missile or drone operations against the UAE and warned against any action from Emirati soil, while the Foreign Ministry said Iran's actions were aimed 'exclusively' at the US.

Why it matters

Iran's denial contradicted the UAE's account as attacks on the Emirates continued for a second day.
