Gulf states intercepted numerous missiles and drones amid Iran's threats to widen attacks, with at least a dozen civilians killed in the region, officials said.
- On Sunday, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates warned residents they were intercepting missiles and drones after Iran ordered evacuations of three major UAE ports.
