00:30Thick, black smoke filled the skies over Sharjah after a powerful explosion rocked the emirate
00:38late Sunday night amid a fresh wave of Iranian strikes targeting the United Arab Emirates.
00:46Eyewitnesses reported massive plumes rising from Sharjah's industrial zone, with visuals
00:53showing intense fire and heavy smoke spreading across the area.
00:58At the same time, residents in nearby Dubai described loud, building-shaking blasts and
01:07flashes lighting up the night sky, scenes consistent with active air defense interceptions.
01:14While authorities have not yet issued a detailed statement on this specific incident, previous
01:22attacks suggest the explosion may have been caused by falling debris from intercepted
01:28missiles or drones.
01:30The strikes come as part of Iran's ongoing retaliation campaign against the United Arab Emirates,
01:38a response to U.S. and Israeli military actions earlier this year.
01:44Since the escalation began, the UAE says it has intercepted hundreds of incoming threats,
01:52including ballistic missiles, drones and cruise missiles, using advanced systems like THAAD
01:59and Patriot missile system.
02:01Despite successful interceptions, the danger is far from over.
02:07Falling debris has repeatedly caused fires, infrastructure damage and civilian casualties across multiple
02:16emirates.
02:17Emergency services quickly rushed to the scene in Sharjah, and as of now, no confirmed casualties
02:24have been reported from this latest blast.
02:27Still, the UAE remains on high alert.
02:32Across cities like Dubai and Sharjah, residents are growing increasingly accustomed to sirens,
02:39explosions and emergency alerts, as daily life continues under the shadow of conflict.
02:46Flights and port operations have also faced intermittent disruptions during major attack waves.
02:54This incident marks yet another escalation in a widening regional conflict involving Iran,
03:02United Arab Emirates, the United States and Israel.
03:06With tensions at a breaking point, authorities are urging residents to stay vigilant and follow
03:14official safety guidelines.
03:16As the situation remains volatile, the possibility of further strikes cannot be ruled out.
03:23Thank you for listening.
03:39Thank you very much.
