  • Four airport staff were wounded at DXB and received medical attention, while airlines suspended regional flights and Emirates halted Dubai operations until 1500hrs Sunday.
  • Flight-Tracking maps showed regional airspace nearly empty after UAE closed its airspace, disrupting travel as Dubai airport and seaport account for about 60 percent of emirate revenues.
  • Dubai Media Office said `Authorities confirm that a drone was intercepted and debris caused a minor fire on the Burj Al Arab's outer facade`, and debris at Jebel Ali Port prompted Civil Defence to extinguish a fire, authorities reported.
