The Latest: UAE reports new missile attack, a day after Iran warns 3 major ports to evacuate

The United Arab Emirates reported a new missile attack Sunday morning, a day after Iran called for the evacuation of three major UAE ports, threatening for the first time a neighboring country’s non-U.S. assets.

Tehran accused the United States of using “ports, docks and hideouts” in the UAE to launch strikes on Kharg Island, home to the main terminal handling Iran’s oil exports, without providing evidence, as the war entered its third week.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he hoped allies would send warships to secure the vital Strait of ​Hormuz.

Meanwhile, Israeli strikes have deepened Lebanon's humanitarian crisis, with about 800 people killed and more than 850,000 displaced.

Here is the latest:

Sirens sounded in Bahrain ahead of an assault on Sunday, while the United Arab Emirates reported a missile attack, urging residents to shelter in safe locations.

Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry said its systems intercepted and destroyed 10 drones over the capital, Riyadh, and the kingdom’s eastern region.

Iran’s joint military command accused in a statement Sunday "the enemy” of using copycat Iranian drones to attack neighboring countries and pin the blame on Tehran, state media reported.

Iran usually uses “the enemy” as a reference to the United States and Israel.

The statement said copies of Iran's Shahed-136 drone, known as LUCAS, were used to hit “irrelevant targets in the regional states," including attacks on Turkey, Iraq and Kuwait. No evidence was provided.

The military command also said Iran openly shares its targets, which it describes as U.S. and Israeli interests, and urged trust and cooperation from regional countries.

The United Arab Emirates reported a missile attack Sunday morning.

Authorities urged residents to shelter in safe locations.

The U.S. Department of Defense on Saturday identified six service members who died when the military refueling aircraft they were aboard crashed Thursday while supporting operations against Iran.

The service members were Maj. John A. Klinner, 33; Capt. Ariana G. Savino, 31; Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt, 34; Capt. Seth R. Koval, 38; Capt. Curtis J. Angst, 30; and Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, 28, according to U.S. officials.

The crash in western Iraq followed an unspecified incident involving two aircraft in “friendly airspace,” according to U.S. Central Command. The other plane landed safely.

Israel’s military said early Sunday that Iran launched another round of missiles toward Israel.

Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and loud booms were heard.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Trailing 118-116 with 5.2 seconds remaining in regulation, the Los Angeles Lakers knew Austin Reaves would intentionally miss his second free throw attempt against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.

Recovering it himself to hit a game-tying floater with 1.9 seconds to go, propelling the Lakers to a vital 127-125 overtime victory, that was something else entirely.

“Yeah, it’s the perfect miss,” Lakers forward LeBron James said. “You got to have a perfect miss at that time, and great timing. He was able to hit it off that left side of the rim, recover it, and then still make a tough floater. Perfect execution on his part.”

Reaves came to the line knowing that would be the last best chance to try to steal an extra possession. It was the second time the Nuggets had fouled him with a three-point lead in the last 9.9 seconds so the Lakers couldn't attempt a tying 3-pointer, and a third such exchange would have almost certainly left Denver with the advantage, as Reaves explained it.

“So it’s kind of tough to play the foul game because you make the free throw, you’re down one, you’re basically banking on them missing a free throw because you’re going to have to take it the full length of the court,” Reaves said. “And the easiest time to foul when you’re up three is when you got to go full court. You got to dribble the ball full court, so I think with how the time situation was with five seconds, it was just kind of a no-brainer.”

But missing in such a way that the Lakers would have a meaningful chance at recovery to attempt another shot is something no one, not even Reaves — a career 86.5% free-throw shooter — could guarantee.

“I mean, we haven’t seen it much, so it’s a very difficult thing, because none of us practice to miss free throws,” James said. “Just knowing, no matter what your percentage is, you just don’t practice missing free throws.”

Reaves had actually given it a try over the summer, so he knew to keep the ball low.

“I wasn’t going to give the ball an opportunity to go in,” Reaves said. “Some people shoot it high and end up making it on accident, but I don’t think my ball ever got over 10 feet.”

Lakers coach JJ Redick had initially called for Reaves to miss to his right because the Nuggets had previously lined up 1-on-1 on that side of the lane line. What Redick hadn’t counted on was Denver superstar center Nikola Jokic being alone to match up with Deandre Ayton to Reaves’ left.

Ayton allowed Jokic to get inside of him toward the restricted area, giving Reaves free release to collect his own rebound, then score the most important of his 32 points in the game.

“AR made the right play, he missed it to the single side,” Redick said. “And, you know, it’s a hell of a basketball play, and certainly, he’s got good touch. I’ll say that.”

Reaves’ execution helped the Lakers extend their winning streak to five games and pick up a crucial tiebreaker over the Nuggets as they jockey with them, Houston and Minnesota to be as high as the third seed in the Western Conference.

“I’m just mad it’ll mess up my free-throw percentage,” Reaves joked.
