The UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman have all been subjected to Iranian attacks, causing human and material losses throughout the duration of the war, amid continued military escalation between the two sides.

In Bahrain, the Defense Ministry announced the destruction of 125 missiles and 211 drones since the start of the confrontations. Regarding human losses, the Ministry of Health previously announced that an Iranian drone strike that hit Sitra Island near the capital, Manama, resulted in the death of a woman and the injury of 32 people, including 4 minors—one of whom is a two-month-old baby—with 4 people seriously injured. The Bahraini Ministry of Interior also announced last Thursday that the Iranian aggression targeted fuel tanks at a facility in Muharraq Governorate.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was subjected to new drone attacks at dawn on Sunday. Although no final toll has been issued so far, official data indicates the detection of more than 25 missiles and 266 drones that targeted the country, the most recent of which was the interception of 64 drones and a ballistic missile last Friday targeting Al-Kharj Governorate, with daily attacks concentrated on oil facilities in the Empty Quarter region.
In Kuwait, the National Guard announced the shooting down of 5 drones during the past twenty-four hours, bringing the total targeting the country—according to Anadolu Agency statistics—to 254 missiles and 489 drones, including attacks that hit the Kuwait International Airport radar and the Ahmed Al-Jaber Air Base.

Although the Sultanate of Oman recorded the lowest targeting rate, it was not free of human and material losses. A drone that fell in the Al-Auhi industrial area in the Wilayat of Sohar last Friday led to the death of two people and the injury of others, coinciding with other attacks that targeted the airspace of the Wilayat of Khasab, Dhofar Governorate, and the Duqm commercial port.
