Authorities Sunday confirmed that the two individuals injured by falling debris in Dubai are in stable condition. Residents are advised to stay indoors and follow instructions from Dubai Police and Civil Defence.

Key developments in Dubai and the UAE:

• Air defence interceptions: The UAE Ministry of Defence has confirmed the successful interception of a “third wave” of Iranian missiles. While most targets were neutralised mid-air, the Dubai Media Office reported that debris from intercepted drones fell in the courtyards of two homes, resulting in two injuries. Both individuals are currently receiving medical care.
• Aviation grounded: In a major disruption to global travel, operations at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC) remain suspended until further notice. The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has implemented a temporary partial closure of UAE airspace as a “precautionary measure”. Passengers are urged to avoid travelling to airports and to contact airlines directly.
• Safety measures in Dubai: Reports indicate that the Burj Khalifa was evacuated Saturday as a safety precaution amid the ongoing strikes. Authorities have clarified that the loud booms heard across the emirate were the result of successful interception operations, not direct hits.

• Regional impact: Flight tracking data shows the airspace over the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar remains virtually empty. Major carriers continue to cancel flights as the region braces for further instability.
