Dubai Flights Disrupted by Drone Strike Amid Ongoing Iranian Attacks

Here is the rewritten article in a neutral newsroom style:

Multiple countries in the Gulf region have reported incidents involving drone attacks and missile intercepts. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced that some flights at Dubai International Airport were diverted as a precautionary measure following a drone attack near the facility. Civil defence teams successfully contained a fire resulting from the impact, with no injuries reported.

The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority has temporarily suspended flights at the airport due to safety concerns. Authorities in Abu Dhabi have responded to an incident involving a missile falling on a civilian vehicle, resulting in one casualty of Palestinian nationality.

In addition, a fire broke out at an industrial zone in Fujairah after a drone strike. The civil defence teams are working to control the fire, and no injuries have been reported. On Saturday, debris fell during the interception of a drone, causing a fire at the Fujairah oil hub.

The UAE Ministry of Defence has reported six deaths since the conflict began on February 28, including four civilians and two military personnel in a helicopter crash. Iran has fired over 1,800 missiles and drones at the UAE, more than any other country targeted by Tehran.

Other Gulf Arab states have also been affected, with all reporting more than 2,000 missile and drone attacks since the conflict began. The Saudi Ministry of Defence has reported intercepting multiple waves of drones, including three in the latest wave. Kuwait’s international airport was also struck, with radar equipment damaged.

A joint statement from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), along with the United Kingdom and Jordan, condemned Iranian aggression and called for de-escalation. A phone call between UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman condemned the attacks, affirming their intention to defend their territories.
