Dubai International Airport Suspends Operations After Drone Strike
Dubai International Airport has suspended operations for an indefinite period amid the activation of air defense systems.

"In order to ensure the safety of passengers, airport staff, and airline crews, operations at Dubai International Airport (DXB) have been temporarily suspended," the statement said.
The Times of Israel earlier reported that two explosions were heard in Dubai. Following this, local authorities reported a "minor incident" caused by debris from downed drones. The consequences of the "incident" have been addressed, though specific details were not provided.
