Missile Debris Injures 12 in Abu Dhabi Amid Iranian Attack

On Friday, debris from intercepted Iranian missiles fell in Abu Dhabi, resulting in injuries to at least 12 individuals, including five Indians and six Nepalese, as reported by the UAE government. The incident occurred after the country's air defense systems successfully thwarted the missile attack in the Ajban area. Authorities confirmed that among the injured, five Indian nationals and six Nepalese suffered minor to moderate injuries, while one Nepalese individual sustained serious injuries. This follows a similar incident last month, where two Indians lost their lives when the UAE military intercepted Iranian missiles. The Indian government expressed its condolences and is coordinating with local authorities to repatriate the deceased's bodies from Abu Dhabi.

This morning, UAE officials confirmed that an Iranian attack targeted the Habshan gas plant; however, the air defense systems successfully neutralized the threat, and no injuries were reported. Despite this, the attack forced authorities to suspend operations at the facility, prompting emergency teams to respond to the scene. The Habshan gas plant, operated by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), is one of the largest gas processing sites globally, featuring 14 processing trains with a capacity of approximately 6.1 billion cubic feet of gas per day. The UAE has strongly condemned Iran's attacks, particularly following the escalation of conflicts with the US and Israel, which have seen Iranian forces targeting civilian infrastructure, including hotels in the UAE. While Iran has apologized for its attacks on neighboring countries, it has vowed to target all US and Israeli assets and bases in the region.
