UAE air defense destroyed Iranian missile

Rocket landed near Fairmont The Palm hotel, causing fire and affecting Russian tourists

Air defense in Dubai successfully intercepted an Iranian missile that fell near the five-star Fairmont The Palm hotel on the artificial island "Palm Jumeirah". One of the fragments landed in the center, causing a fire. Several Russian tourists were at the epicenter of the attack. The air defense thus prevented the missile from hitting a residential area, but damage in the form of fire and injured people remains.

Palm Jumeirah is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Dubai. The combination of events in the region increases tension in the Global zone amid the ongoing conflict involving Iran.

According to a statement by local authorities, the air defense system responded in time, but one person was injured and two suffered burns.
