The Middle East is facing a wave of retaliatory attacks in the wake of the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran and the assassination of its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.



Iranian missiles and drones have targeted locations across the region, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where 300 to 400 Taiwanese citizens live. Terry Wu, a Taiwanese national in Dubai, says residents are currently seeking shelter as the regional conflict intensifies and that Taiwanese living in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are safe but taking precautions.



People will come to collect [groceries] and go back home quickly,” Wu told TaiwanPlus News, adding, “So far right now just stay calm and keep informed.”
