Two ballistic missiles fired toward the UAE; trade with Iran suspended
Off UAE coast · Persian Gulf off the UAE (generalized)
The UAE Defence Ministry said two ballistic missiles were launched from Iran toward the country on Tuesday, one landing outside its territorial waters and one within them, and said assessments showed the missiles targeted maritime traffic. It was not clear whether air defences shot the missiles down or they fell, and no damage or injuries were reported. Incoming missile fire triggered nationwide shelter warnings, the first in weeks; the UAE suspended all trade and financial transactions with Iran the next day, and Iran's Foreign Ministry denied launching the missiles.

The Emirati state news agency WAM said a tanker owned by Abu Dhabi's ADNOC was attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Friday evening and that there were no injuries. It was the third such attack on an ADNOC-operated vessel in the waterway in a week, and the UAE called on Iran to stop the strikes. The UK Maritime Trade Operations centre separately said a bulk carrier was struck in the hull by an unknown projectile on Friday, and it was not immediately clear whether it was the same vessel.

Reuters reported that a drone strike caused a fire at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the UAE on May 17.

The drone that got through hit an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the plant. Radiological safety levels were unaffected, no radioactive material was released, and no injuries were reported. The UAE said it was investigating the source, while a senior Emirati adviser described the targeting as a dangerous escalation whether carried out by the principal perpetrator or one of its proxies.

Iran seizes Chinese-linked security vessel Hui Chuan near Strait of Hormuz

UKMTO/AP and Reuters-syndicated reporting said a vessel believed to be the Honduran-flagged Hui Chuan was boarded while anchored 38 nautical miles northeast of Fujairah and taken toward Iranian waters. Later Wall Street Journal/Bloomberg reporting identified the vessel as linked to Hong Kong-based Sinoguards Marine Security and said Iranian authorities took the ship into Iranian waters for documentation and compliance checks. The incident is included with medium confidence because initial maritime warnings did not independently attribute the seizure.
