Terrified Dubai tourists 'forced to escape to makeshift shelters' as Iran hits UAE

Dubai was plunged into lockdown overnight after Iranian missiles and drones targeted the emirate in retaliation for a joint US-Israeli assault that killed Iran’s supreme leader. Air defence systems

intercepted waves of projectiles late on February 28, but debris injured civilians and damaged key infrastructure in what authorities described as a direct response to Western strikes on Tehran hours earlier.

Footage shared online showed guests at luxury hotels on Palm Jumeirah and in Downtown Dubai being moved into underground car parks and windowless basements as sirens sounded across the city. Thousands of tourists spent the night sheltering on concrete floors while explosions were heard overhead. Dubai authorities said two people were injured when debris from intercepted drones fell into residential courtyards. In Abu Dhabi, shrapnel from a downed drone lightly wounded a woman and her child.
