"Dubai International Airport (DXB) said that the airport had "sustained minor damage in an incident, which was quickly contained." Four staff sustained injuries and received prompt medical attention. Due to contingency plans already in place, most of the terminals were previously cleared of passengers."
"The attack came as Iran continues to send missiles across the Middle East in response to joint US-Israel strikes on Saturday, which Trump said had killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."
"Emirates passenger Jaiveer Cheema told Business Insider that he got an alert on his phone around 12:30 a.m. local time that there was a potential missile threat. The attack on DXB happened soon after. Cheema was at a hotel by then, but said everyone is taking shelter in the bottom floor of the hotel."
Dubai International Airport experienced a suspected air strike on Saturday, causing minor damage and injuring four staff members who received medical attention. Videos documented debris and smoke in terminals as travelers evacuated. The airport's contingency plans had already cleared most terminals of passengers. Dubai's second airport suspended operations. The incident occurred during Iranian missile strikes across the Middle East in response to US-Israel military action. Kuwait International Airport was also hit by a drone earlier that day. Passengers reported receiving missile threat alerts before the attack, with travelers sheltering in hotels as the situation developed.
