On March 13, explosions hit Dubai's financial district early Friday when debris from intercepted Iranian drones damaged buildings. Officials confirmed minor damage, but no injuries or casualties. Fick black smoke rose over the skyline from what started as a fire in an industrial area. The conflict is now spilling into Iraq after a U.S. refueling plane crashed in the West during a military operation. A rescue mission is underway for the crew of at least three people, with no signs of enemy fire involved. Meanwhile, a drone attack targeted a French airbase in Erbil, Iraq, sparking a major fire. One French soldier died, and at least six others were hurt after a helicopter was struck. An explosion also occurred near the U.S. Consulate and Erbil International Airport. Dubai has faced repeated drone and missile threats since the war began 13 days ago. Earlier this week, banks like City and Standard Chartered sent workers home following Iranian warnings against U.S. and Israeli financial targets.

As tensions rise on multiple fronts, authorities continue monitoring for further attacks, while rescue efforts press on in Iraq.
