Satellite images show strikes reach Dubai as Iran’s retaliation rattles Gulf’s safest skyline
New Delhi,UPDATED: Mar 2, 2026 08:39 IST
Fresh satellite imagery released over the weekend has revealed plumes of black smoke rising over parts of Dubai, offering one of the clearest visual confirmations yet of the impact of Iran’s ongoing retaliatory strikes across the Gulf.
Images captured on March 1 show smoke columns near key coastal and urban zones, including areas around Jebel Ali port and the Palm Jumeirah, following a large-scale barrage of Iranian drones and missiles targeting United States assets and regional allies.
According to UAE authorities, hundreds of aerial threats were launched towards the country, most of which were intercepted by air defence systems. However, falling debris from intercepted projectiles triggered fires and caused damage at multiple locations in Dubai, including infrastructure linked to the port and nearby commercial districts.
