Iran Strikes multiple locations in Dubai: What is happening?

It is already known that the middle Eastern countries have been facing a very peculiar situation due to the prevailing work conditions.

On Saturday, February 28, 2026, Iran launched missile and drone strikes across the Gulf region in retaliation for recent US and Israeli attacks on Iranian territory. The wave of strikes hit several countries, including the United Arab Emirates, where explosions were heard over Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The UAE’s air defence systems worked hard to intercept the incoming missiles and drones, and most were shot down before they hit ground. Despite this, missile debris fell in parts of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and at least one person was killed by falling fragments in the capital.

Residents in Dubai reported loud blasts and alarms, with many people taking shelter or running for cover. The UAE government temporarily closed airspace and advised people to stay safe indoors.

The strikes came as part of a broader escalation in the Middle East, with Iran targeting military bases where US forces are stationed in several Gulf countries. Governments in the region are urging calm and pushing for diplomatic solutions, even as tensions remain high.

The situation is evolving, and authorities continue to monitor security across the Gulf. More updates are expected later today.
