Authorities in the United Arab Emirates reported that missile launches from Iran had been intercepted. Locals reported loud explosions.

According Reuters, three missiles were intercepted by the Emirati military's air defense systems, while one missile fell into the sea near Jebel Ali Port in Dubai, the largest city in the United Arab Emirates.

In addition, the United Arab Emirates reported a fire at an energy facility in the emirate of Fujairah after it was hit by an Iranian missile.

Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a belligerent statement saying it would strike "deliberately and forcefully" any vessel attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
