A fire was reported at Dubai International Airport on Monday after Iranian drones targeted the facility. The attacks came shortly after Iranian state television warned of strikes on specific targets in Dubai and Doha.
The Dubai Media Office has confirmed reports that the region’s civil defense teams have successfully contained a fire caused by an impact on one of the fuel tanks near Dubai International Airport.
It also confirmed that no injuries were reported as a result of the massive fire. However, as a precautionary measure, all flights from the airport have been temporarily suspended, the Dubai Media Authority said, citing an announcement by the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority.
“Travellers are advised to contact their respective airlines for the latest updates regarding their flights. Further updates will be communicated through official channels as they become available,” the Dubai Media office said in a post on X.
