Iran Attacks Leave Dozens Dead in UAE

Dozens were killed in the attacks on the UAE by Iran on Monday after recent attacks on Israel and the US last week. At least 31 people were killed in the attacks by Iran on various infrastructure entities in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Over 80 people were injured as a result of the attacks. Iranian forces claimed responsibility for the attacks saying it was a retaliation to Israeli attacks on its soil.

The UAE’s Statenews agency reported that the country’s air defence forces were able to intercept most of the drones and missiles that were launched from Iran but falling debris from them damaged several buildings in populated areas.

India Wants Situation De-Escalated Peacefully

Prime Minister Modi said that the situation has to be defused peacefully and that dialogue should be the only way to come to resolution. “We’ve always believed that issues can only be resolved through dialogue. India will continue to extend its full support towards restoring peace in West Asia,” the PM said.

India has time and again stated that any threat to peace in West Asia impacts energy security and has consequences for the global economy and society at large.
