Two people were killed in Abu Dhabi after debris from an intercepted missile struck a road in the emirate, local authorities said Thursday, as Iran launched a series of attacks across Gulf states.
According to Abu Dhabi’s media office, the debris fell on Sweihan Road, killing two people and injuring three others. Several vehicles were also damaged in the incident. The missile had been intercepted before impact, but falling fragments caused the casualties.
The strike was part of a broader wave of Iranian attacks targeting multiple countries in the region.
In Kuwait, the army said the country came under attack early Thursday morning. A statement from the Kuwait Army General Staff said the assault involved both missiles and drones, though no immediate details were provided on casualties or damage.
Kuwait’s Foreign Affairs Ministry later condemned the attacks and welcomed a decision by the UN Human Rights Council addressing the human rights implications of Iranian strikes on Gulf states. The ministry said the move reflected international opposition to what it described as Iran’s “flagrant aggressions.”
Residents in Kuwait were advised to follow official security instructions as authorities assessed the situation.
