Dubai’s main international airport (DXB) sustained minor damage in a retaliatory Iranian missile attack after joint US–Israeli strikes on Iran, officials said. A concourse at the world’s busiest airport was impacted, and four airport staff were injured as emergency teams responded and terminals had been cleared beforehand. The incident triggered panic and forced evacuation procedures, with regional airspace closures leading to mass flight cancellations and suspensions. The attacks are part of broader Iranian strikes across Gulf states, affecting infrastructure including other airports and prompting heightened security and disruption in the aviation hub.
