UAE says Iran fired two missiles; one landed in its waters
One weapon landed in Emirati waters and the other splashed down outside them, according to the national defence ministry. Officials broadcast an emergency phone warning on Tuesday telling residents they were out of danger and could go back to their regular lives. The government insists it is prepared to handle any further attacks, while leadership in Tehran has not yet responded to the claims.
