French base in Abu Dhabi damaged after Iranian drone attack
The French Defense Minister confirmed damage to a French base in Abu Dhabi following an Iranian drone attack.
“A hangar at our naval base, located next to a hangar in the United Arab Emirates, was attacked by a drone targeting the port of Abu Dhabi. The damage was only material.
There are no reports of casualties. Our forces remain on high alert as the situation evolves by the hour.”
— said the head of the French Ministry of Defense, Catherine Vautrin.
Earlier on March 1, it was reported (https://t.me/astrapress/105883) that Iran launched a strike, presumably on the French military base Camp de la paix in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE Ministry of Defence reported (https://x.com/modgovae/status/2028113786926989671?s=20) that two Iranian drones had attacked a warehouse at the Al Salam naval base in Abu Dhabi, causing a fire in two containers containing construction materials.
