Residents in Dubai reported hearing loud explosions across the city, followed by falling fragments-likely from intercepted missiles-landing on rooftops and near residential buildings.

“We were told not to return to our apartments. Special areas were opened on lower floors so everyone could stay safe. The upper floors are more vulnerable-debris falls from above,” one Dubai resident said, describing the tense scene, The Caspian Post reports via foreign media.

High-rise building management instructed residents to evacuate upper floors as a precaution. Many are currently sheltering in underground parking garages and on ground floors while authorities assess the situation. Families have spent hours waiting in lobbies and parking areas for further guidance.

So far, there has been no official confirmation of casualties or damage, and authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as residents remain on high alert.
