Dubai: Flights were temporarily suspended at Dubai's airport on Monday after a "drone-related incident" sparked a fire nearby, city authorities said.
The Emirati defence ministry later said its air defence systems were intercepting a wave of Iranian drones and missiles, without specifying where in the Gulf nation.
Iran has fired over 1,800 missiles and drones at the United Arab Emirates, upending travel plans in the financial hub despite its air defence intercepting a vast majority of the projectiles.
The latest incident near Dubai's airport impacted a fuel tank, the city's media office said, later adding authorities had contained the blaze that broke out with no injuries reported.
