Smoke Hangs Over Abu Dhabi After Iranian Missile Intercepted Over UAE Capital | VERTEX

Smoke has been seen rising over Abu Dhabi following the reported interception of an Iranian missile over the UAE capital, as Iran's retaliatory strikes against the US-Israel offensive spread deeper into Gulf territory. Witnesses reported hearing multiple loud explosions across the city, with windows shaking from the force of the blasts near Abu Dhabi's Corniche.
UAE authorities confirmed the interception, but the visible smoke over the capital signals that the defensive action came at a cost — with at least one person already confirmed killed in the Iranian missile barrage targeting Abu Dhabi. The footage, verified through satellite imagery and original metadata, places the smoke plume directly over the heart of the city.
Abu Dhabi joins a growing list of Gulf capitals — including Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh — now caught in the crossfire of Iran's sweeping retaliatory campaign. The scenes over one of the world's wealthiest and most strategically significant cities underline just how rapidly the Middle East is sliding toward full-scale regional war.
