Drones near Dubai airport have injured four people as the Iran conflict enters its 12th day.

One of the world’s busiest airports has been caught up in the fighting in the Middle East crisis after several strikes in its area since the start of the conflict between Iran and the US-Israel coalition.

Dubai authorities confirmed this morning that two drones were spotted near the airport.

Four people were injured – two Ghanaian nationals,one Bangladeshi national and one Indian.

The officials said on X: ‘Authorities confirm that two drones fell in the vicinity of Dubai International Airport (DXB) a short while ago,resulting in minor injuries to two Ghanaian nationals and one Bangladeshi national,and moderate injuries to one Indian national.

‘Air traffic is operating as normal.’

On Saturday,all flights in and out of Dubai were grounded after Iran launched more missiles in retaliation for the attacks by the US and Israel.

Footage showed a drone appearing to strike near one of the airport buildings. There were no reports of injuries.

The Emirati army reportedly intercepted 26 drones yesterday alone,nine of which fell inside its territory.

One of the drone attacks caused a fire at Abu Dhabi’s Ruwais Industrial Complex,which is home to the kingdom’s largest oil refinery.

Oil has become the focal point of the war after tankers have been unable to go through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf after some vessels were targeted.
