UAE closes airspace as Israel strikes Beirut, Tehran

A drone attack in the United Arab Emirates sparked a fire at an oil tank farm Tuesday in Fujairah, an emirate on the country’s east coast with the Gulf of Oman that has been repeatedly targeted, the state-run  news agency reported. It said no one had been injured in the blast.

This came after a



brief closure of the UAE’s airspace when the military reported it was “responding to missile and drone threats from Iran.” 

Also on Tuesday, the Israeli military said it had launched new attacks across both Tehran and Beirut, with those on the Lebanese capital targeting Hezbollah militants.
