Authorities in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), responded after debris from an aerial interception fell on the facade of the Oracle building in Dubai Internet City, the Dubai Media Office confirmed on Saturday (local time).
According to the Dubai Media Office, no injuries were reported in the incident.
“Authorities confirm that they responded to a minor incident caused by debris from an aerial interception that fell on the facade of the Oracle building in Dubai Internet City. No injuries were reported,” the Dubai Media Office wrote on X.
Earlier on Saturday, authorities also responded to a similar incident in the Dubai Marina area, where debris from an aerial interception fell onto the facade of a building, the Media Office confirmed. No fire or injuries were reported.
Dubai Marina is a residential neighbourhood that also attracts tourists, including visitors to Dubai Marina Mall.
The aerial interceptions come amid the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which has also affected Dubai following Tehran’s aerial strikes.
The UAE has previously faced fires and other incidents at its energy facilities during the conflict, which began on February 28. According to Al Jazeera, one person was killed and four others were injured in an attack on Abu Dhabi`s Habshan gas facility, the UAE`s largest natural gas processing site, which suffered significant damage.
The conflict began on February 28 with US and Israeli strikes against Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran`s retaliation against US and Israeli assets in the region has since expanded the scope of the conflict.
