Iranian debris damages UAE petrol facility, drones damage Bahraini residences, injures 32 civilians

No injuries were reported in the incident, according to the emirate's statement.

The statement did not appear to clarify whether the projectile was a missile or a drone in this latest incident.

A fire also blazed in the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone on Friday following the interception of an Iranian drone, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported at the time.

Further, the UAE's Defense Ministry early on Monday announced that it was "responding to incoming missile and drone threats from Iran," without specifying where this wave of attacks was targeting.

The ministry called it an "act of blatant Iranian aggression."

Bahrain's official news agency later cited the health ministry, updating that the attack injured at least 32, including four "severe" injuries.

Additionally, a facility belonging to the state-run Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) appears to have been hit by a drone on Monday morning, resulting in a fire, according to video footage shared on social media.

Bahrain's Interior Ministry announced that sirens were sounded shortly before reports of the fire began circulating, but government officials have not yet confirmed or denied the reports.

Baghdad International Airport's air defense systems were triggered by an Iranian rocket and drone attack, police sources cited by Reuters stated.

The attack targeted a US diplomatic facility near the airport, and was successfully intercepted by the airport's C-RAM defense system, the sources added.

Footage shared by Kurdish outlet Rudaw appears to show the attack viewed from the tarmac at the airport.

Additionally, the Iraqi Kurdish city of Erbil came under a drone attack, with footage shared by local outlet Kurdistan24 appearing to show air defenses intercepting the drone.

This followed a statement from the Kuwaiti defense minister announcing that the military is working to intercept Iranian missiles and drones launched towards the country.

At the same time, authorities reported a fire at an electric plant in the Gulf country; however, at the time of writing, there has been no official confirmation or denial of whether this was tied to debris or a hit from a drone or missile attack, or if it was coincidental.

According to Kuwait's Electricity and Water Ministry, there were no casualties from the fire.

Iran's attacks on Gulf States "cannot be accepted or justified under any circumstances," Riyadh's Foreign Ministry stated.

"Continued Iranian attacks will lead to further escalation and have a serious impact on relations now and in the future," the ministry added.

Meanwhile, the US State Department said on Sunday it ordered non-essential US diplomats and US government employee family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to safety risks.

The United States began to pull out non-essential staff from Gulf Arab countries last Monday, three days into the war. The US ​embassy in Riyadh on Tuesday approved voluntary departures, four days into the war, and on the same day that it was struck by Iranian drones that led to a fire that ​damaged the mission's facilities.

Qatar's military intercepted an Iranian missile, Doha's Defense Ministry announced early on Monday morning.

The ministry's statement did not mention where the missile was targeting.

Oman's Muscat International Airport has asked private jet operators to avoid using the site for "additional flights," giving priority to government and commercial flights as fresh airspace closures hit the region’s attempts to increase travel, according to an email seen by Reuters.

"Due to the current crisis management measures at Muscat International Airport, flight movements are restricted to approved seasonal scheduled services only," the airport authorities told charter plane operators on Friday.

The airport said this measure was necessary to manage congestion and ensure that airport capacity remains within acceptable limits.

The email, first reported by the Financial Times, asked that all airlines and operators cancel any slots falling outside the approved seasonal schedule and to refrain from submitting non-approved flight requests until further notice.

"The only additional flights that may be considered during this period are embassy-sponsored repatriation flights, subject to prior approval through the applicable diplomatic channels and on the condition that no commercial sale of seats is undertaken in connection with such operations," the email added.

In addition, two people were injured by falling debris in two locations after air defenses intercepted a threat over Abu Dhabi, their media office said.
