DUBAI: On the second day of a precarious ceasefire between the US and Iran, the UAE and Kuwait both reported that they had not been the target of any Iranian drones or missiles on Thursday. Following the US and Israel’s assaults against Iran on February 28, Iran launched waves of attacks against Arab Gulf nations.
Attacks on Gulf states persisted into Wednesday despite President Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday of a temporary truce arrangement with Iran. On Thursday, however, things seemed considerably more peaceful. According to the UAE defense ministry, there have been no air threats “during past hours” in the nation’s airspace.
The government stated, “UAE air defense systems did not detect any ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or UAVs launched from Iran on April 9, 2026.” Air defense systems have not reported any military movement or developments within its designated operational zones in the last 24 hours, according to Kuwait’s defense ministry. During the battle, Iran targeted both nations as well as Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. During the conflict, attacks were made against airports, energy infrastructure, and other civilian locations.
