ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Zayed International Airport (AUH), the main gateway to the UAE capital and a key hub for Etihad Airways, remains shuttered with all flight operations suspended as of Monday,

The UAE says it has intercepted Iranian missiles and one person has been killed by the fall of debris. Dubai airports have suspended operations as witnesses upload videos from the scene online.

Explosions have been reported in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with missiles also targeting a US naval base in Qatar among other targets across the region

While U.S. military units are believed to have been present at Al Dhafra since the 1990s, the U.S. Air Force officially acknowledged its presence only in August 2017.

While the interception was successful, debris fell across several residential areas in Abu Dhabi, causing material damage but no new casualties. An earlier strike had resulted in one fatality.

Passengers were stranded at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport after US-Israel strikes on Iran triggered UAE airspace closures, causing widespread flight disruptions and uncertainty.

Following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, over 1,000 flights were canceled in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Zelenskyy said fighting in the Middle East has put the planned meeting with the US and Russia in Abu Dhabi into question.
