Gulf Ceasefire Shattered by Missile Barrage
8 Apr
Summary
- UAE intercepted drones and missiles, causing debris and a temporary gas complex shutdown.
- Kuwait reported 28 Iranian drones targeted vital infrastructure, including oil facilities.
- Bahrain confirmed minor injuries and property damage from intercepted drone shrapnel.

Hours after Iran and the United States announced a two-week ceasefire, Gulf states reported new missile and drone attacks, immediately testing the truce's viability. The United Arab Emirates' air defenses were actively engaged, intercepting ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones. Debris from these interceptions caused a fire at the Habshan gas complex, leading to its temporary suspension and minor injuries to two Emiratis and one Indian national.
