Tensions are escalating in the Gulf after the United Arab Emirates claimed that recent drone attacks targeting its airspace originated from Iraqi territory. According to the UAE Ministry of Defense, six hostile drones were intercepted within 48 hours, with all threats neutralised before causing casualties or significant damage. The statement also linked earlier incidents, including an alleged strike on the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, to the same origin point. The UAE says its advanced tracking systems confirmed the launch sites, while reaffirming its right to respond under international law. The allegations raise fresh concerns over regional security and the expanding scope of drone warfare.
