UPDATE 1-UAE says air defences dealt with two drones coming from Iran

​The United Arab Emirates' air defences dealt with two ‌drones coming from Iran on Sunday, the Defence Ministry said, the latest in renewed ‌attacks on the oil-rich Gulf country.

The UAE ‌has reported being attacked in the past days by Iran after four weeks of relative calm ⁠since ​a ceasefire ⁠in the Iran war was announced by the United ⁠States. Iran has denied carrying out operations against ​the UAE in recent days, yet it ⁠warned of a "crushing response" if any actions were launched ⁠from ​the UAE against it.

The attacks prompted the UAE to shift to ⁠remote learning for schools last week, but authorities ⁠said ⁠on Sunday that in-person learning would resume from Monday.
