My family didn’t sleep for full night because of blast sound of missiles and drones in Dubai. It’s very dangerous situation for all the residents in the city.

These incidents have led to increased security alerts and disruptions across the Gulf region. This war has also affected air travel. Several foreign airlines grounded or diverted flights as flight monitoring maps showed that the airspace around Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Israel and Bahrain was mostly empty. Due to security concerns, operations at Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport in the United Arab Emirates have been halted until further notice. According to officials, more than 280 flights were canceled and 250 others were delayed within hours of the shutdown.
