DUBAI – UAE residents received a phone alert from the interior ministry warning of a “potential missile threat” on Friday, which was lifted shortly after — the first such warning in more than a month.

The ministry later sent a notification to “disregard the previous warning”, which appeared to be a false alarm.

Some residents, however, had received another missile alert before the disregard message.

“Due to the current situation, potential missile threats, immediately seek a safe place,” the interior ministry said in the phone notification, before sending another alert stating that “the situation is currently safe. You may resume your normal activities”. – AFP
