Iran Targets UAE Infrastructure; Air Defenses Intercept Drones and Missiles

Iran is targeting UAE's critical infrastructure, especially Dubai International Airport and Oil Facility of Fujairah. In the response, UAE's air defenses intercepted many drones and missiles. Due to this ongoing war, many flights have been cancelled and fires in oil facilities are threatening to the stability of the region.  Fujairah plays a vital role being a bypass for oil export from Strait of Hormuz to major Asian markets like China and India. Despite these direct hits to the energy and aviation sectors, UAE officials and local business leaders maintain that the economy is resilient and capable of bouncing back from these disruptions.
