Authorities deny reports of booms in downtown Dubai

Authorities in Dubai have denied reports of explosions occurring in downtown areas on Thursday evening, despite initial claims suggesting booms were caused by missile interceptions. The Dubai Media Office issued a statement clarifying that no such incidents took place in central Dubai and advised residents to rely on official communication channels. This comes amid ongoing tensions involving Iran and the United Arab Emirates, which were targeted by Iran following the outbreak of war in February. However, Iran reportedly halted its attacks after a US-Iran ceasefire agreement and a framework deal to end the conflict in mid-June. Recently, hostilities have resumed, leading Iran to target several neighboring countries, including Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. In response, Kuwait's military confirmed intercepting drone attacks attributed to Iranian aggression, while Bahrain's interior ministry urged people to stay calm and seek shelter.
