Dubai Airport Damaged in Strike After Iran Retaliates Attack

Dubai’s main airport, the world’s busiest aviation hub, was partially damaged by a suspected aerial strike on one of its main terminal buildings, marking another escalation after air traffic in the Persian Gulf closed down hours after Iran’s retaliatory attacks.

The airport operator confirmed that one concourse at Dubai International “sustained minor damage in an incident, which was quickly contained,” and that four employees sustained injuries, according to a statement.
