Tourists in Dubai were forced to take refuge in underground shelters after Iran launched missiles and drones targeting the UAE. The attacks came in retaliation for the joint US-Israeli strike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader.

Air defence systems intercepted several projectiles late on February 28, helping prevent large-scale damage, but panic spread across hotels and tourist areas. Many visitors described a chaotic night as they sought safety in makeshift shelters.

Authorities urged residents and tourists to remain calm, follow emergency protocols, and stay updated on safety advisories as security forces continued monitoring the situation.

The incident highlights rising regional tensions and the far-reaching effects of the Iran-US-Israel conflict on neighboring countries and international travel.
