Dubai Intercept: UAE Air Defenses Neutralize Missile Over Financial District

On Day 31 of the Middle East war, the United States and Israel continued heavy attacks on Iran, targeting power plants and multiple sites in Tehran, causing widespread destruction and temporary blackouts in Tehran, Karaj, and Alborz. Fires and thick smoke were seen across central areas, highlighting the scale of damage. Iran strongly retaliated by launching attacks on U.S. bases and Gulf countries. A missile strike was reported in Dubai, though it was intercepted by air defense systems. Iran also targeted Abu Dhabi, hitting an aluminum plant and causing major fire damage. Additional strikes were reported in Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base and Iraq. In Israel, sirens sounded in Jerusalem, forcing lawmakers in the Knesset to take shelter and briefly suspend parliamentary proceedings. The conflict has now spread across multiple regions, with continuous strikes, counterattacks, and rising civilian impact. Despite strong air defense efforts, the situation remains volatile, with no clear sign of de-escalation.
