Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum Airport have suspended all flight operations amid escalating regional hostilities following Iranian missile strikes across Gulf states. Authorities urged passengers not to travel as thousands were stranded after flights were abruptly grounded.
The closures came after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran triggered retaliatory attacks targeting sites across the region, including locations hosting U.S. forces. Explosions were reported in Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, and Manama, while air defenses intercepted incoming threats. One civilian in the UAE was killed by falling debris. The disruptions highlight how rapidly intensifying conflict is impacting civilian infrastructure and global air travel networks.
