Four people – two Ghanaian nationals, one Bangladeshi national and one Indian citizen – were injured near Dubai’s airport in a strike on Tuesday.
On Saturday, all flights in and out of Dubai were grounded, with one of the biggest airlines Emirates confirming they need to prioritise the safety of their staff.
Meanwhile a US military plane has been downed in a suspected mid-air collision in Iraq.
Two KC-135 aircraft were involved in ‘the incident’ which occurred ‘in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury’, US Central Command said.
