Debris from a ballistic missile fired by Iran fell inside an economic free zone near Abu Dhabi, triggering fires and injuring several people.
Local authorities said on March 28 that the missile was shot down by air defenses and that falling fragments struck areas around the Khalifa Economic Free Zone (KEZAD), igniting three separate blazes.
Six people, including nationals of India and Pakistan, were injured. Firefighters have extinguished the fires and are conducting mop-up and damage-assessment operations.
The incident took place amid Iranian retaliatory strikes in response to U.S. attacks, during which Tehran targeted facilities and sites linked to U.S. forces in the Gulf. KEZAD is a large economic free zone that permits 100% foreign ownership.
Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported that Kuwait International Airport in Kuwait City was hit by multiple drone attacks, severely damaging its radar systems, which are now under repair.
Explosions and smoke were also reported near Erbil International Airport in northern Iraq, a site known to host a U.S. military presence.
