One person has been killed and 11 injured at airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as Iran launched attacks across the Middle East in response to a massive and ongoing attack against it by the US and Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities in Abu Dhabi confirmed a drone targeting Zayed International Airport (AUH) was intercepted, leading to “falling debris”, killing one person and injuring seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dubai International Airport (DXB) – the world’s busiest by passenger traffic – was damaged in an “incident” that injured four staff, according to authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thousands of flights have been grounded to and from the region, in one of the most serious disruptions to global travel since the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Retaliatory strikes from Iran continued on Sunday with explosions heard in Doha, Dubai and Manama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran has used ballistic missiles and drones to launch wide-scale attacks on US allies and assets across the Gulf, after its supreme leader was killed in the ongoing US-Israel air offensive launched on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait – all home to US military bases – said they had intercepted missiles fired towards them, but falling debris appeared to have caused widespread damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also in Dubai, debris from an “aerial interception” caused a fire in a berth at the Jebel Ali deep sea port – the world’s ninth busiest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
