UAE intercepts Yemen missile as Israeli president visits
The United Arab Emirates has intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile making it the third such incident this month
According to authorities, the Incident comes off the back of a recent missile interception made just under a fortnight ago.
The third missile interception comes as the Israeli President visited the country.
“The attack did not cause any losses. The remains of the ballistic missile landed outside residential areas,”
the UAE Ministry of Defense said on Twitter.
There have been a series of attacks on the UAE this month by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels which are based in Yemen
Rebels launched a drone attack on January 17 which killed three foreign workers in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis responded with air strikes on the Yemeni capital that killed at least 12 people.
The Houthis then launched missiles again on January 24, but the UAE intercepted those with support from the United States.
After that attack, a Houthi spokesperson warned the group would “expand their operations over the next phase,” and warned foreign companies to leave the UAE.
Monday’s attack took place during Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s ongoing visit to the UAE
There was no immediate danger posed to the President or his entourage.
The visit is expected to continue as planned according to an Israeli presidential spokesman.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.
Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.
