Dubai says it fought off Iranian attack as Eid holiday begins

Dubai says it successfully fended off an Iranian aerial attack, after heavy explosions shook the United Arab Emirates city in the early morning.

“Authorities in Dubai confirm the success of all air interception operations, with no injuries reported,” says the Dubai Media Office, the sheikhdom’s government communications arm.

The attack came as mosques made the day’s first call to prayers for Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
