Shocking reports are speaking about a popular tourist hotel in The Palm Dubai reportedly being in flames after an alleged missile attack that occurred today during the afternoon.
Horrifying images taken from the scene show the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai on fire. The blaze comes hours after Donald Trump declared war on Iran and urged the country that these strikes were needed to help ensure the country gets a new government.
A video that was posted on social media also showed tourists in Dubai running from a poolside area as two intercepted missiles left plumes of smoke in the sky above the city. The clip captured people shouting in shock as air defence systems were engaged overhead.
Israel's defense minister shared more about how it rolled out a preventative attack against Iran. Israel's Katz mentioned how the strikes were being conducted to remove all threats, while witnesses in Tehran mentioned more about how they heard some loud explosions taking place.
Meanwhile, the US is also said to be taking part in Israel's strikes against Iran, as per the Associated Press. With dozens of strikes across Iran, the country has chosen to retaliate by attacking all American bases across the Middle East.
People were seen running for cover in Dubai today after a loud bang was heard near the Marina, while in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, a death took place after debris fell on a residential area. One person was confirmed dead and that was confirmed by UAE authorities.
