Four staff members were injured in an “incident” at Dubai International Airport early Sunday, amid heightened security tensions in the Middle East following the recent joint strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, according to a statement from the Dubai Media Office.
In a post shared on X, authorities confirmed that one of the terminal connectors at Dubai International Airport (DXB) suffered minor damage and that the situation was promptly brought under control.
Emergency response teams were immediately deployed and worked alongside relevant authorities to contain the situation, the statement said.
The four injured staff members received immediate medical attention, though no further details about their conditions were provided.
Thanks to the airport’s contingency plans, most of the affected terminal areas had been cleared of passengers prior to the incident, it added.
Local officials said updates would be shared as more information becomes available.
No additional details have been released regarding the nature of the incident. However, several Arab media outlets and circulating videos appeared to show structural damage to airport facilities following what was described as an Iranian missile strike.
A day earlier, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) reported that its territory had come under attack from Iran, targeting several areas — mainly the capital Abu Dhabi — resulting in one death.
On Saturday morning, the United States and Israel carried out a coordinated strike on Iran, claiming to neutralize what they called “threats” posed by the Iranian regime.
In retaliation, Iran fired missiles and drones toward Israeli territory and U.S. military bases across the region.
Israel subsequently declared a “state of special national emergency,” while Tehran vowed a “severe response” to what it described as aggression, launching a series of missiles and drones toward Israel and nearby U.S. installations.
