Authorities have confirmed that flight operations have resumed at Dubai International Airport after a temporary suspension. Emirates Airlines flight EK001 to London Heathrow, originally scheduled to depart at 7 a.m. local time, left after several hours of delay. The suspension followed the circulation of a video showing an explosion at the airport.

The United Arab Emirates authorities did not provide an explanation for the initial suspension. However, the Dubai Government Media Office stated on its official X account that no incident had occurred at the airport. It clarified that a minor event caused by falling debris during the interception of an attack had been successfully contained, and no casualties were reported. Officials also denied social media reports suggesting any major incident at the airport.

Flight operations are now returning to normal, with authorities emphasizing that safety measures remain in place and that the situation is fully under control.
