As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding the incident. Approximately one hour prior to the reported attack on the Burj Al Arab, Dubai International Airport (DXB) was also targeted by Iranian forces in retaliation for the UAE's alleged support of US-Israel military actions. Reports indicate that at least four individuals sustained injuries during this attack.
Officials from Dubai Airports confirmed the occurrence of an incident at DXB, stating, "Emergency response teams have been activated immediately, and the incident is being handled in coordination with the relevant authorities. This has resulted in 4 injuries, and the necessary urgent medical assistance has been provided to them. Updated information will be broadcast as soon as it is received." This is breaking news.
