The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has strongly condemned recent terrorist drone attacks targeting a cargo ship in Qatari waters and multiple locations in Kuwait. The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the drone strike on the cargo vessel in Qatari waters as an act of piracy, emphasizing that targeting commercial navigation and using strategic locations like the Strait of Hormuz to apply pressure or economic blackmail is unacceptable.
The UAE also expressed full solidarity with Kuwait following multiple drone assaults and supports all necessary measures to safeguard Kuwait’s security and stability amid these threats.
In a related security update, UAE air defenses successfully dealt with two drones originating from Iran on May 10, 2026. Since the onset of Iranian attacks, the UAE has intercepted:
- 551 ballistic missiles
- 29 cruise missiles
- 2,265 drones
This highlights the ongoing regional tensions and the critical need for vigilance.
These escalating incidents underline the importance of regional cooperation to maintain peace and security in the Gulf. International observers continue to closely monitor these developments as nations work together to address growing threats to maritime and territorial safety.
