The United Arab Emirates on Friday said an Iranian missile and drone attack on the country resulted in three moderate injuries.

"The UAE air defence systems engaged 2 ballistic missiles and 3 UAVs launched from Iran, resulting in 3 moderate injuries," the defence ministry said on X.

The UAE has reported multiple missile and drone attacks from Iran this week, the first since a ceasefire came into effect last month.

Iran had previously denied launching recent attacks on the UAE.
