The UAE has partially closed its airspace

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has partially closed the country’s airspace amid attacks allegedly from Iran, the UAE Civil Aviation Authority said on Monday on the social network X.

Earlier on Monday, the country’s defense ministry reported that the military was repelling missile and drone attacks from Iran. Earlier, a senior Iranian military source told the Iranian state Television and radio company that Iran had no plans to attack the UAE.

“The Directorate announces the partial closure of UAE airspace due to attacks from Iran. Four special corridors have been opened for flights to and from the country,” the department said in a statement.
