Kamaal R Khan reveals his family didn`t sleep in Dubai
On March 1, Kamaal R Khan took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share that his family had a sleepless night due to the sound of explosions in the city. He wrote, “My family didn’t sleep for full night because of blast sound of missiles and drones in Dubai. It’s very dangerous situation for all the residents in the city.”
For the unversed, KRK has been actively sharing his views and reactions on social media as tensions continue to escalate in the Gulf region. His latest post about his family comes against the backdrop of coordinated strikes launched by the United States and Israel on Iran. The attack reportedly triggered retaliatory missile and drone attacks by Iran in the Middle East region.
The terrifying developments have led to heightened security alerts and disruptions across the Gulf.
Attacks in Dubai
The Iranian state media has confirmed that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with his family, was killed in the joint US-Israeli airstrikes. Iran’s Fars News Agency reported that four of his relatives, including his daughter, grandchild and son-in-law, also lost their lives in the attacks. Earlier, former US President Donald Trump also publicly announced that the Iranian Supreme Leader had been killed in the joint strikes. Trump called hs killing the “single greatest chance” for Iranians to reclaim control of their country.
Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict has also affected air travel. Several international airlines have suspended or rerouted flights. This comes after airspace over Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Israel, and Bahrain appeared largely empty on flight-tracking maps.
Operations at the Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport in the UAE were also suspended until further notice due to security concerns. Authorities revealed that within hours of the shutdown, more than 280 flights were cancelled and over 250 were delayed.
