Iran strikes depot of Ukrainian anti-drone systems in Dubai: Military official

An Iranian military official says the country has carried out coordinated attacks in Dubai targeting a Ukrainian air defense equipment depot supporting US forces.

Spokesperson of the Khatam al Anbiya Central Headquarters says Iran has carried out coordinated attacks against a Ukrainian air defense equipment depot in Dubai supporting US forces.

In a statement on Saturday, Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said the operation was simultaneous with strikes on hideouts of American commanders and troops in Dubai, which resulted in heavy casualties.

The spokesperson added that an “air defense systems storage facility belonging to Ukraine,” where 21 Ukrainian nationals were present, was struck and “destroyed” in a joint IRGC Aerospace and Naval Forces operation.

The official said there is no confirmed information about the fate of the Ukrainian personnel at the site, noting that they were “likely killed.”

The United States and Israel launched a large-scale and unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders despite indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran's peaceful nuclear program.

In response, Iranian armed forces immediately initiated powerful missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
