Dubai: A building in Dubai's financial district was hit by debris from an intercepted attack Friday, witnesses and an AFP journalist saw.
On Wednesday, US banking giant Citi, consultancies Deloitte and PwC, as well as other firms closed their offices or told employees to leave, mainly in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), sources told AFP.
Iran's threats sparked concern at the heart of the Middle East's top financial hub, home to international companies and multi-billion dollar businesses.
Two witnesses described seeing damage to a building in DIFC after hearing loud bangs. Dubai's media office confirmed that the facade of a building in "central Dubai" had been hit by debris from a successful interception.
An AFP correspondent also saw the damaged building in DIFC after hearing the bangs.
