Dubai International Airport (DXB) has reported sustaining minor damage following an incident that led to its evacuation. Videos circulating online depict debris and smoke within the terminal, with travelers seen rushing to exit. Emergency services were promptly on the scene.
Airport authorities confirmed that four staff members sustained injuries and received immediate medical attention. Thanks to pre-existing contingency plans, the majority of terminals had already been cleared of passengers before the full impact of the event.

Operations at Dubai's other airport, Dubai World Center (DWC), have been suspended indefinitely, with travelers urged not to proceed to the location. This event follows a drone attack on Kuwait International Airport earlier the same day, which also resulted in injuries and damage. The broader context involves ongoing missile deployments across the Middle East.
