Residents reported new explosions in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Manama as Iran fired more missiles across the region. AFP correspondents said they heard several blasts in Dubai. Sirens also sounded in Manama. A Dubai resident told NDTV, “We have been hearing explosions every few hours.” Visuals showed a hotel hit by a strike, but they could not be verified independently. The attacks follow joint US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Britain’s Defence Secretary John Healey said two ballistic missiles were fired “in the direction of Cyprus”, raising concern over risks to military bases. (PC: X)
