Explosions rocked Dubai today as debris from intercepted Iranian drones caused damage to buildings in the heart of the city's financial district.
Thick black smoke rose over Dubai's skyline early this morning after what authorities described as a fire in an industrial area of the city-state. Dubai authorities later confirmed only minor damage was caused with no injuries reported.
The latest attack on the International Finance Centre comes after banks in Dubai ordered staff to leave their offices earlier this week following a threat by Iran to target US and Israeli financial institutions.
Meanwhile Iraq became the main theatre of war in the Middle East yesterday after a US jet crashed to earth following a suspected mid-air collision and a French soldier was killed after a drone attack on an air base.
