Operations at Dubai International Airport were temporarily suspended following reports of an Iranian drone incident near the airport terminals. The situation caused panic among passengers and airport staff after a loud explosion was heard in the surrounding area.
According to a statement from the Dubai Media Office, the suspension of flight operations was implemented as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of passengers, airline crew members, and airport personnel.
Eyewitnesses reported thick black smoke rising above the airport shortly after the blast, prompting emergency response teams to quickly reach the site. Authorities halted flight movements while security teams assessed the situation and secured the airport area.
After safety checks were completed, officials confirmed that operations at Dubai International Airport were gradually resuming, with flights slowly returning to normal schedules.
