The Iranian Revolutionary Guard declared it was targeting US bases and assets as part of operation "Truthful Promise 4", in reprisal for the offensive on Iran carried out by the United States and its ally Israel on Saturday.

That US-Israeli operation - launched at around 06:15 GMT - has so far focused on sites linked to the Tehran's leadership, with President Trump encouraging the people of Iran to rise up against the regime.

The Ministry of Defence of the United Arab Emirates said in a statement that the nation has been targeted by a "a blatant attack involving Iranian ballistic missiles".

"UAE air defence systems engaged the projectiles with high efficiency and successfully intercepted a number of missiles," it added.

Officials reported debris fell on a residential area in Abu Dhabi, causing some property damage and fatalities.
