A Pakistani citizen was killed in Dubai when debris from a defense missile fell on his car in the Barsha area around midnight local time on Sunday, according to Al Jazeera. The missile had been launched to intercept Iranian drones and missiles targeting the United Arab Emirates.
Earlier, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that it had carried out an attack aimed at a U.S. base in Dubai Marina. The incident occurred amid heightened regional tensions following Iran’s strikes on military targets in Israel and Jordan, and reports of extensive damage to civilian infrastructure inside Iran.
The event underscores the growing risks of spillover effects from the escalating conflict between Iran and U.S.-aligned forces in the Middle East, with civilian casualties now reported beyond direct battle zones.
