One person killed and 11 injured after Iran retaliates against US-Israeli strikes in Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports; global travel disrupted.
A recent surge in attacks across the Middle East has led to tragic incidents and widespread disruption.
Dubai International Airport sustained minor damage after an incident left four staff members injured. Meanwhile, Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi reported one fatality and seven injuries due to a drone interception. The attacks are part of Iran's retaliatory strikes following the US-Israeli air offensive, which has caused massive disruption to global travel. Flights in and out of the region have been grounded, affecting thousands of passengers and leading to widespread cancellations. Countries like Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait have also reported missile intercepts and damages from debris. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have targeted key US assets, including the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and Duqm commercial port in Oman, where one worker was injured. The global travel industry is facing unprecedented challenges due to these events.
