Dubai International Airport has been evacuated after a reported strike from an Iranian suicide drone. Officials say a concourse took minor damage, but emergency teams contained it fast.

Iran launched these drone and missile attacks across the Middle East in retaliation. Passengers fled the terminal amid smoke, leaving parts of the busy airport deserted. Dubai airports suspended all flights there and at Al-Mahtoum International, telling people to stay away for now. Iran strikes also targeted a luxury hotel on Dubai's Palm Jamira, plus sites in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and other spots like U.S. bases. The U.K. foreign offices urging British nationals in the region to register for updates in shelter-in-place.
