Mass flight suspension at Dubai Airport amid drone attack

• Flights were suspended at Dubai International Airport and passengers were moved into tunnels after a drone strike appeared to hit nearby, with blasts heard across the city.
• The UAE government activated air defences amidst Iranian strikes targeting Gulf states, which were in response to a joint Israel-US bombing campaign.
• Long-haul carrier Emirates later resumed operations, with Dubai Airports advising travellers to only come to the airport if their flight was confirmed.
• Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian apologised for the country's attacks on regional states, attributing them to miscommunication and rejecting US demands for unconditional surrender.
• The US administration approved a new £112 million arms sale to Israel, and a US president stated Iran would be “hit very hard” today, as death tolls continued to rise across Iran, Lebanon, and Israel.
