Iran Drone Strike Hits Dubai Airport, Flights Paused After Blasts Rock City Story (104 words): A drone strike linked to Iran hit Dubai International Airport on Saturday, briefly stopping flight operations. Explosions were heard across the city as air defences were activated. Videos on social media showed a large cloud of smoke rising near the airport after the strike. Passengers inside the airport moved into underground train tunnels after an alert was issued, according to reports. Airline Emirates said flights to and from Dubai were suspended “until further notice.” Operations resumed shortly after. The attack came as Iran continued strikes on Gulf states during its conflict with the United States and Israel.
