Dubai ​authorities brought under control today (16 March) a fire caused by a drone attack near the city's international airport that forced a temporary suspension of flights, though no injuries were reported, they said, Reuters reported. 

The US-Israel war against Iran has thrown global aviation into turmoil, with flights cancelled, ​rescheduled and rerouted, as most Middle East airspace stays shut over fears of ​missile and drone attacks, while the crisis sends fuel prices soaring.

Today's incident is ⁠the third at the Dubai airport, one of the world's busiest international travel hubs, ​since Iran began its attacks on Gulf nations on 28 February, with strikes Tehran has said aim ​at the US presence in the region, according to Reuters.
