Two buildings were damaged by debris from intercepted drones in Dubai, including the Oracle building, with no injuries reported by authorities
Two buildings in Dubai have sustained damage after debris from intercepted drones fell from the sky overhead.
Dubai authorities confirmed the facades of two buildings were struck by fragments from the intercepted drones, including a property occupied by US technology giant Oracle. Officials confirmed no casualties resulted from the incident.
Dubai Media Office said in a statement: “Authorities confirm that they responded to a minor incident caused by debris from an aerial interception that fell on the facade of the Oracle building in Dubai Internet City.
“No injuries were reported.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has issued threats to strike Oracle alongside 17 other American corporations, claiming they have participated in “terrorist espionage” operations within Iranian territory.
Earlier Iranian drone attacks inflicted damage on three Amazon Web Services facilities located in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
The incident follows days after massive explosions echoed across Dubai, as Iran launched multiple strikes against the United Arab Emirates amid the continuing Middle East conflict.
Separately, US President Donald Trump declared in his Easter message that ‘evil and wickedness shall not prevail’ following the downing of two American military aircraft.
American officials have reportedly verified that Iran shot down the two US planes, with an urgent search operation now under way to locate a missing serviceman. Speaking directly to the American public in a video posted on Truth Social, Donald Trump declared: “All of us can live every day with hope in God’s promise, knowing that in the end evil and wickedness will not prevail.”
He went on to say: “Our country is doing so well like never before”.
