This missile tracker aggregates data on missile strikes, drone attacks, airstrikes, and military operations across UAE, Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, and Iraq — updated every 5 minutes from open-source intelligence and X/Twitter reports.
Each marker on the live map represents a reported strike location, color-coded by severity. Click any event to see its intelligence summary, weapon type identification, source links, and an animated trajectory line showing where the missile or drone was launched from. Status categories include Under Attack, Missiles Hit, Drone Strike, Targeted, Elevated Alert, Monitoring, and Airspace Closed.
The missile tracker covers all military activity in the UAE including strikes on Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Dhafra Air Base, Jebel Ali Port, Fujairah, and critical energy infrastructure. For Iran, the tracker monitors strikes on Tehran, Isfahan, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Natanz, and military sites across all provinces. The live map also tracks missile and drone attacks on US bases in Kuwait (Camp Buehring, Ali Al Salem, Camp Arifjan), Israeli strikes and retaliatory attacks, and military operations across Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, and Iraq.
A unique feature of this missile tracker is the animated trajectory line that shows the origin and path of each strike. Click any event in the timeline or on the map to see where the missile, drone, or airstrike was launched from — whether from Iranian IRGC bases, Houthi territory in Yemen, US aircraft carriers, Israeli air bases, or coalition air bases like Al Udeid and Incirlik.
