June 26 (Reuters) – The United Arab Emirates on Friday issued a message telling residents to disregard an alert that had appeared a little while earlier suggesting there might be a missile threat.
Authorities subsequently issued another message saying, “Please disregard the previous warning,” without providing any further explanation.
It was not immediately clear what prompted the initial alert, which was like those issued at the height of the Iran war when Iranian missiles and drones targeted the UAE.
