Dubai’s famous Burj Al Arab hotel engulfed in flames after being ‘hit by s*icide drone’ during Iran blitz

Another famous Dubai hotel was recently struck by a s*icide drone as several people were said to be injured at the popular tourist hotspot.

The Burj Al Arab was reportedly hit during the evening hours, and thick plumes of black smoke were seen billowing from the giant building.

Footage showed a large emergency service present at the scene, with fire crews tackling the mega blaze.

It's believed that the fire has now been brought under control. During the earlier hours of the day, another Dubai hotel was engulfed in flames, leaving four injured after it was struck by what seemed to be an Iranian Shahed drone. Black smoke was seen spreading across the skyline in Dubai after the luxury hotel Fairmont The Palm was struck.

Shocking footage showed what seemed to be a kamikaze drone smashing into the mega five star hotel in the plush Palm Jumeirah district, while conflicting reports suggested that it might have been struck by missile debris.
