The tourist spoke about the situation in Dubai amid the Iranian attacks

Everything is calm on the streets of Dubai, although there is growing concern in Internet chats. Maxim Pominov, a tourist, told Izvestia about this on February 28.

"I am currently in the Deira area myself. My hotel has access to the roof. Now I was there for about half an hour, and during that time it wasn't very strong, but about four explosions were heard somewhere in the distance," Pominov said.

He also said that there are questions about bomb shelters in the chat rooms.

The Middle East beyond the border: Israel strikes Iran

Israel launches a series of attacks on military and nuclear facilities, Tehran is preparing a response

Explosions occurred in Abu Dhabi and Dubai earlier in the day. Izvestia published footage from the airport in Dubai after the UAE intercepted several missiles launched from Iran. They show that the tourist area is almost empty.

Later, Iran fired rockets towards Israel. The US Fifth Fleet maintenance center was shelled in Bahrain. In addition, Iran attacked four US military bases in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Against this background, the United States began evacuating some personnel from the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar.

At the same time, the IDF launched a massive airstrike on military installations in western Iran. The city of Shiraz was attacked. In addition, 70,000 Israeli reservists were called up for military service. It was clarified that the commander-in-chief of the Iranian army, Amir Hatami, was killed in the attack.

The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that Russia demands that the situation around Iran be immediately brought back to a political and diplomatic settlement. The Foreign Ministry pointed out that the fact that the attacks are being carried out again under the guise of the resumed negotiation process deserves condemnation.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
