Major Gulf cities, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, were rocked by explosions as Iran retaliated against US-Israeli strikes. Residents reported loud blasts, black smoke, and emergency alerts prompting people to seek shelter.

Authorities in Dubai said air defense systems intercepted many missiles and drones, though falling debris caused damage and at least one death in Abu Dhabi. Fires and structural damage affected landmarks like the Burj Al Arab and Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 3.

Doha also experienced loud explosions and smoke in industrial areas, though the full extent of damage remains unclear. The strikes are part of Iran’s retaliation after US-Israeli attacks on military and economic targets across the region.

Officials continue monitoring the situation closely, urging residents to follow safety protocols as tensions escalate across the Gulf.
