An outage occurred in the AWS ME-CENTRAL-1 region in the UAE after unidentified objects struck the mec1-az2 Availability Zone, causing sparks and fire. This incident coincides with missile and drone attacks from Iran, which have escalated recently.

AWS reported that the fire department cut power to the facility while addressing the fire, and restoring connectivity may take several hours. Other Availability Zones in the region are functioning normally. The situation follows a series of retaliatory attacks by Iran, which targeted various infrastructures in the Gulf.
