The situation in Abu Dhabi (and throughout the UAE) remains tense after the recent events, but I want to reassure you: we are all well, safe and healthy.

According to the Ministry of Defense here as of today (March 2, 2026), air defense systems have successfully dealt with 9 ballistic missiles, 6 cruise missiles and 148 drones today alone. In total, 174 ballistic missiles have been detected since the beginning of the attacks – 161 were destroyed, 13 fell into the sea. 689 drones have been detected – 645 were intercepted, 44 fell on the territory of the country. 8 cruise missiles were also destroyed.
Unfortunately, since the beginning of the Iranian attacks, there have been 3 fatalities and 68 minor injuries, as well as some material damage (mostly minor to moderate) to civilian objects from debris and fallen elements.
If people hear loud booms or sirens, these are precisely the interceptions by air defense systems and fighter jets, which are working extremely effectively.
I ask everyone not to share rumors or unconfirmed information, because at the moment disinformation is spreading very quickly.
The country is prepared, defense systems are at a high level and all necessary measures are being taken.
Please do not worry too much - we are cautious, responsible and in good hands.
