Explosions hit Dubai and Abu Dhabi on Saturday as the UAE was one of several Gulf states sucked into the US-Israeli conflict with Iran.
The United Arab Emirates has intercepted at least three rounds of missiles and drones launched towards the country from Iranian territory since US and Israeli strikes started raining down on Iran.
However, some missiles and drones appear to be making it through the UAE air defences.
Residents of Dubai said they saw plumes of smoke near the Fairmont the Palm and above the Dubai Marina neighbourhood. And video footage on Saturday evening appeared to show an Iranian Shahed drone hitting the city.
In Abu Dhabi, residents heard the sound of several missile interceptions.
