One killed and 11 injured at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports as Iran strikes region

A series of drone and missile attacks on airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have resulted in the death of one person and the injury of 11 others. The attacks, which were carried out by Iran, have caused widespread damage across the Gulf region. The incident occurred on January 17th, 2023, when debris from the intercepted Iranian drones and missiles fell on the airports, triggering explosions and fires. The Emirati government has condemned the attacks, describing them as a "heinous crime" and a "blatant violation of international law." The attacks have heightened tensions in the region, with the United States and its allies condemning Iran's actions. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing regional conflicts and the potential for escalation. The authorities in the UAE have launched a full investigation into the attacks, and have pledged to take all necessary measures to protect their citizens and visitors.
