00:00We have been hearing several military jets flying overhead here this morning in Dubai but it appears that most of
00:07those interceptions of drones are taking place now over the water out at sea. Abu Dhabi did take a brunt
00:15of attacks last night and further afield the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia was hit by two drones which resulted
00:24in a fire and also some damage there.
00:27Now overnight the USA and Canadian embassies have ordered evacuation orders to citizens living here in the UAE. The Canadians
00:38actually took that a step further and did indicate specific land exits and border crossings for any citizens that do
00:47want to leave the UAE into Oman and also into Saudi Arabia.
00:52Now in terms of flights we do are still hearing a select few from DXB the main transit hub here
00:59in Dubai are still continuing to leave today. Obviously once again we are advising and they are as well to
01:07make sure you contact your airline before leaving do not go to the airports.
01:12There was a nice sign of reassurance here in the UAE last night as the President of the UAE as
01:20well as the Minister of Defence were spotted actually out and about in Dubai mall. They were talking to shoppers,
01:26tourists, residents alike giving a real sense of reassurance about our stability and also about our sense of security here
01:36in the UAE.
