Guernsey Couple Stranded in Dubai Amid Iran Attacks
Iran's missile and drone strikes injured over 100 people and forced the closure of Dubai International Airport, halting more than 1,200 flights, officials said.
- On Saturday, Iran launched a barrage of more than 540 drones, 165 ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles that damaged Dubai International Airport and shut the airspace, forcing flight suspensions.
- Iran said the operation was launched in retaliation after United States and Israeli forces killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, in an airstrike on Saturday.
- On Sunday, fires and blasts damaged Dubai's five‑star hotels, and shelter orders restricted outdoor access, with hotel guests describing the scene as 'The blast was so frightening,' said Ellis.
- Emirati authorities have provided hotel accommodation and said they covered costs for more than 20,200 passengers as Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships attendees and Jason repeatedly rebook amid uncertain Wednesday flights.
- Dubai's heavy reliance on tourism means the strikes could damage the tourism sector, nearly 13 percent of GDP, after regional casualty figures showed at least four killed and more than 100 injured.
