## Missile Threat in UAE

Residents in the UAE have been advised to seek immediate shelter due to a missile threat. The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has confirmed that the country's air defense systems are actively responding to the situation.

## Official Guidelines

NCEMA has issued clear instructions for residents to follow in case of an alert. People are urged to move to a safe location and remain there until an 'all clear' signal is given. It is important to avoid filming or recording during this time.

## Air Defense Efforts

The Ministry of Defence reported that on March 5, UAE's air defenses intercepted six ballistic missiles and 125 drones. Since the onset of the conflict, 196 ballistic missiles and over 1,000 drones have been detected, with a significant number intercepted.

## Safety Precautions

Residents are reminded to stay informed through official channels and to remain calm if caught in a vehicle during an alert. Proceed to your destination and then find the nearest safe place to take shelter.
