The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has confirmed that the country’s air defence systems are actively responding to a missile and drone threat, prompting immediate safety measures and nationwide alerts.
Authorities issued emergency notifications across the UAE, urging residents to remain calm but vigilant as the situation unfolds. People have been advised to stay indoors or move to secure locations, avoid unnecessary travel, and closely follow updates from official government platforms. Officials also stressed the importance of not sharing unverified information on social media, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary panic during a sensitive time.
NCEMA highlighted that relevant security and emergency teams are fully mobilised and monitoring developments in real time. Residents have been encouraged to rely only on trusted sources for accurate guidance and to cooperate with any additional safety instructions that may be issued.
The alert comes amid heightened regional tensions, with authorities reinforcing the need for public awareness and preparedness. While no further details have been officially disclosed, officials reiterated that safeguarding residents remains the top priority as the situation continues to evolve.
