News India Live, Digital Desk: The flames of war in the Middle East have now become more intense. A massive fire broke out near Dubai International Airport (DXB) on Monday morning, shortly after Iran issued a dire warning of an attack on the Gulf countries. According to security agencies, the fire occurred after a suspected drone attack, which targeted a major fuel storage tank located near the airport. After this incident, Dubai administration has suspended all the flights as a precautionary measure. Sky covered with smoke, brakes on flights. After this explosion near the airport, a huge plume of black smoke was seen in the sky.

Many international flights have been diverted to neighboring airports, such as Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC). Officials say that this step has been taken to ensure the safety of passengers. Iran’s ‘across’ threat This attack has come at a time when Iran had recently warned the countries supporting America and Israel that if its oil bases or nuclear centers were attacked, it would jeopardize the energy security of the entire region. Tehran had clearly said that its target would be all those countries which are providing logistics support to the US Army. Dozens of flights going to and from India have been affected due to the closure of Dubai Airport. Airlines like Air India, Indigo and Emirates have issued advisories for passengers. Many passengers had to return midway after taking off from cities like Kochi and Mumbai. Security situation and investigation Dubai Civil Defense teams are trying to control the fire. Although no casualties have been reported so far, the incident has raised security concerns to its peak in the Gulf countries. Security experts are considering this as part of ‘hybrid warfare’, where economic infrastructure is being targeted through drones.
