DUBAI, March 1 (Reuters) - Dubai’s international airport and its landmark Burj Al Arab hotel sustained damage as overnight Iranian retaliatory attacks spread across the Gulf states and the wider Middle East, reaching beyond U.S. bases and interests.
Four people were injured at the airport, the emirate’s media office said early on Sunday.
Dubai’s media office said on X that “a concourse at Dubai International (DXB) sustained minor damage in an incident, which was quickly contained,” without giving further details.
It later also confirmed that a drone was intercepted, and debris caused a minor fire on the Burj Al Arab’s outer facade.
Dubai is the biggest tourism and trade hub in the Middle East and its airport is one of the world’s busiest travel hubs.
