Dubai International Airport (DXB) sustained minor damage in an overnight Iranian missile attack amid escalating Middle East tensions, the emirate’s media office said. A concourse at the world’s busiest international aviation hub was struck, and four airport staff were injured, with emergency teams responding swiftly. Authorities said the incident was quickly contained and most terminals were cleared of passengers before damage occurred. The strikes are part of broader Iranian attacks across the Gulf in retaliation for recent US-Israel actions, also impacting landmarks like the Burj Al Arab hotel. Flight operations in the region were disrupted as airspace closures followed the assault.
