UAE says air defences dealt with two drones coming from Iran


DUBAI, May ⁠10 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates' ⁠air defences dealt with two ‌drones coming from Iran on Sunday, the Defence Ministry said, the latest ​in renewed attacks on ⁠the oil-rich Gulf ⁠country.

The UAE has reported being attacked ⁠in ‌the past days by Iran after four ⁠weeks of relative calm since a ​ceasefire ‌in the Iran war was ⁠announced ​by the United States.

Iran has denied carrying out operations against the ⁠UAE in recent days, ​yet it warned of a "crushing response" if any actions were launched ⁠from the UAE against it.

The attacks prompted the UAE to shift to remote learning for ​schools last week, ⁠but authorities said on Sunday ​that in-person learning would ‌resume from Monday.
