Iran drone strike hits Dubai: All flights cancelled amid heightened tensions

Dubai (The Uttam Hindu): The war between Iran and the US-Israel continues. Amid this conflict, loud explosions were heard in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Officials reported that a drone crashed at Dubai airport. This attack is believed to have originated from Iran. Dubai's airspace has been closed for the time being. Following this attack, flights to and from Dubai have been halted.

Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East show no signs of easing. Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, which carries a significant amount of crude oil worldwide. This is a vital route for global energy trade. Emirates announced on Saturday that it has temporarily suspended all flights to and from Dubai until further notice and advised passengers to avoid traveling to the airport while operations are suspended.
