March 17 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates’ General Civil Aviation Authority announced the temporary and full closure of the country’s airspace, as “an exceptional precautionary measure”, amid rapidly evolving regional security developments, the state news agency reported on Tuesday.
UAE’s defence ministry said earlier on Tuesday it was responding to incoming missile and drone threats from Iran.
