Gulf nations reported a series of attacks as the US-Israel war against Iran entered its fifth week, including strikes on major industrial infrastructure.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said a number of people had been injured in an Iranian strike on a key aluminium plant in Abu Dhabi, with significant damage reported by operator Emirates Global Aluminium.
Meanwhile, state-controlled Aluminium Bahrain said two employees were wounded by an Iranian attack on one of the world’s largest aluminium smelting facilities.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted the sites with drones and missiles on Saturday in response to US and Israeli attacks on its own industrial plants.
In a statement carried by Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency, the IRGC claimed the aluminum facilities were linked to the American military.
