UAE publishes war totals: 253 ballistic missiles, 1,440 UAVs, 8 cruise missiles — 4 killed
·Abu Dhabi, UAE
UAE defense ministry cumulative figures: 253 ballistic missiles detected (233 destroyed, 18 sea, 2 hit territory); 1,440 UAVs (1,359 intercepted, 81 hit territory); 8 cruise missiles destroyed. Total dead: 4 (Pakistani, Nepali, Bangladeshi). 117 minorly injured.
The UAE Ministry of Defense published its first full cumulative assessment of Iranian attacks since the war began. Total ballistic missiles detected: 253. Of these: 233 destroyed, 18 fell into the sea, and 2 landed within UAE territory. Total UAVs detected: 1,440. Of these: 1,359 intercepted, 81 fell within UAE territory. Cruise missiles: 8 detected and destroyed. The attacks have killed 4 people — all foreign nationals of Pakistani, Nepali and Bangladeshi nationalities — and minorly injured 117 people. The UAE stresses it was a previous day's attack that killed two of the four and raised injuries to 112 before adding 5 more minorly injured today. The cumulative scale is remarkable: in 10 days of war, Iran has fired over 1,700 combined munitions at the UAE alone. The 81 UAVs that penetrated UAE territory and the 2 ballistic missiles that landed represent a significant air defense leakage rate — nearly 6% of UAVs and under 1% of ballistic missiles — within a country hosting the fifth fleet's logistics footprint and major US military assets.
