ISTANBUL (AA) – Four people were injured in the United Arab Emirates from falling drone debris on Sunday, while explosions were also heard in the skies over Qatar’s capital Doha amid a widening military conflict between the US, Israel and Iran.
"Debris from drones intercepted by air defences fell in the courtyards of two homes in Dubai, resulting in two injuries," the Dubai Media Office said in a statement. "The injured have received the necessary medical care."
The sounds heard across the emirate were the result of successful interception operations, the statement added.
Authorities in Abu Dhabi also said debris from a drone intercepted by air defenses hit the facade of one of the Etihad Towers buildings, injuring a woman and her child and causing minor property damage.
Authorities said the sounds heard in the emirate “were a result of the successful interception operations.”
Meanwhile, Qatari media reported sounds of explosions in the skies over Doha due to interceptions of Iranian missiles.
Since Saturday morning, Israel and the US have carried out strikes on multiple Iranian cities, killing the supreme leader and many other top security officials. Tehran has retaliated by firing drones and missiles toward Israel and targeting US assets in the Middle East.
