Smoke could be seen pouring out of Dubai's famous Marina on Saturday after a suspected Iranian drone strike.

Dubai confirmed two injuries from drone shrapnel after interceptions. Separate reports cite Russian markings near Jebel Ali, not independently verified.

Passengers faced confusion with numerous delays and cancellations, necessitating confirmation from airlines before heading to the airport. Some operations resumed later in the day, and officials cautioned about potential changes due to security conditions.

A map of Iran’s strikes on five key sites in Dubai shows how missile and drone debris impacted landmarks including Dubai International Airport, Jebel Ali Port, Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah amid escalating Gulf tensions after major regional attacks.

The viral footage shows smoke rising in the distance after reports of an Iranian drone being spotted near the area.

Videos online show debris and smoke as travelers rush to the exits. The Dubai airport said most of the terminals were evacuated ahead of the attack.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the drone strike adjacent to the US consulate in Dubai and said all personnel were safe. The consulate grounds were hit by what is believed to be an Iranian drone.

Dramatic visuals have emerged from Dubai as the escalating Iran war sends shockwaves across the Gulf. A car was seen engulfed in flames in the Umm Suqeim district, with thick black smoke rising into the night sky and triggering panic on a busy city road.
