Dubai authorities said debris from an intercepted drone caused a fire at the city's famed luxury hotel the Burj Al Arab, according to a statement Sunday, following a wave of Iranian strikes launched at Gulf states.

"Authorities confirm that a drone was intercepted and debris caused a minor fire on the Burj Al Arab's outer facade," the Dubai Media Office wrote on its X account.

"Civil Defence teams responded immediately and brought the incident under control. No injuries have been reported." —Agence France Presse
