Drone crashed near Dubai airport, explosion heard

A video capturing the crash of a drone and explosion sounds near Dubai International Airport has widely circulated on the internet. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

BBC has confirmed the authenticity of these videos. The incident is believed to have occurred on March 7 near Terminal A of the airport.

The video features an unknown person talking about the drone and a loud explosion sound is heard. Due to the tense situation in the Middle East region and military actions related to Iran, Dubai International Airport had temporarily suspended its operations.

However, on March 7, the airport announced a partial resumption of its activities. The "Emirates" airline also stated its readiness to resume flights and called on passengers to come to the airport.

On the same day, UAE officials announced that a drone attack organized by Iran had been thwarted. The Dubai government described the incident as a minor event caused by drone debris and emphasized that no one was injured.

It is currently being determined whether this incident is related to the explosion near the airport or is a separate event.
