A drone-related incident near Dubai International Airport set one of the airport\u2019s fuel tanks on fire, according to officials. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident happened Sunday in the vicinity of Dubai International Airport, known as DXB, according to the Dubai Media Office<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities first said emergency crews were responding to a fire from a drone-related incident, then said one of the fuel tanks had been hit. The Dubai Civil Defence teams said they were working to bring the fire under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the incident, an Arabic-language warning attributed to Iran\u2019s Media Operations Center circulated online telling residents to leave specific parts of Dubai because U.S. personnel were allegedly present there and those areas could come under attack in the coming hours. The image identified Dubai Marina and Arabian Ranches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident was the latest near Dubai airport since the conflict began. Earlier strikes and interception debris have hit parts of Dubai and the UAE, including one during the first Iranian launches that damaged Terminal 3 and injured several people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
