The United Arab Emirates is actively responding to incoming missile and drone threats launched from Iran.
A projectile triggered an explosion near a bulk carrier off the coast of the UAE, a British maritime monitor said.
Authorities in Ras Al Khaimah said the 'sounds heard across parts of the city were the result of successful air defence interception operations'.
Saudi Arabia condemned the 'repeated Iranian attacks' and declared four Iranian embassy officials persona non grata, giving them 24 hours to leave the country.
A Patriot missile in the Bahrain blast was likely US-operated, according to a report.
