Officials reported that the injuries were minor and affected a Sri Lankan, two Indians, and a Bangladeshi. The falling shrapnel landed in a residential area in southern Dubai, causing some property damage. The Dubai Media Office mentioned that the situation was managed with high safety standards. Residents in Dubai heard loud explosions several times today. The Dubai Media Office confirmed that these sounds were linked to ongoing military actions. Residents were advised to stay in safe places until the missile threat was over, as defense forces worked to intercept and neutralize aerial threats from Iran.
