Residents of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Friday received mobile alerts warning them of a potential missile threat and urging them to seek shelter.

The alert advised residents to immediately seek a safe place in the nearest secure building and stay away from windows, doors, and open areas.
