“Authorities confirm that two ​drones fell in the vicinity of Dubai International ⁠Airport (DXB) a short while ago,” the media office posted ​on X, adding that air traffic is operating as ​normal.

The attack resulted in minor injuries to two Ghanaian nationals and one Bangladeshi national, as well as moderate injuries to one Indian ​national, it added.

The outbreak of the US-Israel war against ​Iran has led to flight cancellations, rescheduling and re-routing for airlines ‌across ⁠the globe, as most airspaces in the Middle East, including Qatar, remain shut over missile and drone concerns.

It has also led to an energy crisis that has ​led to ​a spike in fuel ⁠prices.

UAE airlines like Dubai’s Emirates and Abu Dhabi’s Etihad have resumed some flights since ​the beginning of the crisis on February ​28 ⁠, but they are still operating below their capacity, with the attack on Wednesday marking a renewed hit to DXB, ⁠the world’s ​busiest airport for international passengers, ​which last year handled nearly 100 million passengers.
