UAE Military Says Its Forces Neutralized Iranian UAV Over Territorial Sea

The United Arab Emirates’ armed forces reported that they have neutralised an Iranian unmanned aircraft that was operating within the UAE's maritime jurisdiction. According to the defence ministry, the action was taken after the drone ignored multiple radio warnings and continued its flight path toward critical naval assets.

Officials affirmed that air‑defence batteries and fighter patrols are fully prepared to address any future incursions, with surveillance systems conducting round‑the‑clock monitoring of the Gulf's airspace.
