Iran has regularly targeted Dubai, the UAE’s largest city, since the ongoing Middle East conflict began on February 28. Tehran has reacted against the US-Israeli strikes by hitting both Israel and the Gulf countries that host American military sites.

Two witnesses told AFP that they saw damage at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) after hearing ‘loud fringe’. Authorities later reported that debris from a successful missile interception had impacted the façade of a building in “central Dubai”.

A drone dropped near DIFC on Thursday, a day after Tehran threatened to strike US and Israeli-linked banks and other economic institutions in response to a purported attack on an Iranian bank.

During the ongoing Middle East battle, the UAE’s air defences have intercepted almost 1,500 Iranian drones and approximately 300 missiles, considerably outnumbering any other country targeted by Iran.
