The UAE has issued its first missile alert in months, urging residents to seek shelter as it responds to Iranian missiles and drones.
The Ministry of Defence and the emergency authority Ncema issued the alert at about 6.30am.
Residents were told to find a safe location until further notice. Jets were also heard patrolling in the skies around the same time.
Alerts were issued on social media. Some residents, including journalists in Abu Dhabi from The National, received an alert on their phones, while others did not. The all-clear was announced a short time later.
A later statement from Ncema said the missiles did not enter UAE territory. It advised that alerts are issued "proactively, even when the likelihood of impact is low".
The alert came as Qatar and Bahrain urged residents to seek shelter as their forces intercepted Iranian projectiles. In Qatar, three people, including a child, were hurt by falling debris, officials said.
The UAE is not thought to have been fired on since Iran attacked the Barakah nuclear plant on May 17, sparking international outrage. A projectile struck an electrical substation away from the main structure.
Sunday's incident followed US strikes on Iran hours earlier. Explosions have been reported in Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Bandar-e Mahshahr, Sirik, Asaluyeh, Minab, Bandar-e-Jask, and at the Dayyer Port.
US Central Command said those attacks followed an Iranian strike on a Cypriot ship off the coast of Oman.
It identified the ship as the GFS Galaxy, a Cyprus-flagged container ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel is operated by GFS Ship Management in Dubai.
"A civilian crew member is missing and the vessel is unable to continue the journey due to an onboard fire and significant engine room damage," Centcom said.
The crew abandoned the vessel, which was on fire, on Sunday morning. India's foreign ministry later said 10 citizens were rescued by Omani forces, and that one sailor remained missing.
Iran claims the Strait of Hormuz is once again fully closed, which will have an impact on oil and gas supplies.
