Dubai authorities have announced a temporary suspension of flights at Dubai International Airport. This is a "precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all passengers and staff."

The incident was caused by a drone that hit a fuel tank, causing a fire at the airport.

Dubai Police have announced that the highway and tunnel leading to the international airport have been temporarily closed. The reason for the restriction is a fire that broke out in a fuel depot, which was caused by an incident with a drone in the area.
