Dubai authorities have denied reports of explosions in the city on Thursday evening, after initial information claimed booms were heard due to missile interceptions, Euronews journalists in Dubai reported.
Dubai Media Office has issued a statement clarifying that the explosions did not occur in downtown Dubai and urging residents to rely on official communications from the authorities.
While the United Arab Emirates was targeted by Iran after the war broke out in February, Tehran has ceased its strikes following the US-Iran ceasefire and the signing of the framework deal to end the war in mid-June.
After the hostilities between the two sides resumed last week, Iran has targeted a number of neighbouring countries, including Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan.
Kuwait's military said it intercepted "drone attacks following the nefarious Iranian aggression", and Bahrain's interior ministry urged citizens and residents to "remain calm and head to the nearest safe place".
This is a developing story and our journalists are working on further updates.
