US–Israel–Iran conflict: Debris from intercepted projectile hits Dubai Marina Tower

An Iranian drone strike on Saturday hit Dubai’s 23 Marina Tower skyscraper, sparking a fire, as Tehran launched a wave of missile and drone attacks in response to the US-Israeli strikes on February 28.

The strike on the residential skyscraper, located in the Dubai Marina waterfront area, produced thick smoke visible from surrounding neighbourhoods, according to reports. People shared videos of smoke rising from the building and a fire, although authorities are yet to reveal full details about the extent of the damage.

“Authorities confirm that debris resulting from a successful interception caused a minor incident on the façade of a tower in Dubai Marina. The situation has been contained. No injuries were reported," said the Dubai Media Office.
