UAE Retracts Missile Alert Within Minutes After Technical Malfunction

Summary
Residents across the UAE received phone alerts on Friday warning of a potential missile threat, only for authorities to issue an all-clear minutes later and tell people to disregard the message.
A technical malfunction triggered the initial emergency alert, according to UAE authorities.
The brief warning and rapid retraction left the episode confined to an apparent false alarm rather than an active security incident.
