The United Arab Emirates reopened its airspace after a brief shutdown triggered by what the military described as "missile and drone threats from Iran" on Tuesday.
The closure had been imposed as a precautionary measure and was lifted shortly afterwards, according to the state-run WAM news agency.
A comprehensive assessment of operational and security conditions led to the shutdown, which lasted nearly two hours, and was described as an "exceptional precautionary measure" to ensure aviation safety.
People in Dubai received a missile warning alert, and explosions were heard in the city as the military worked to intercept the incoming threats.
A drone strike also triggered a fire at an oil tank facility in Fujairah, but no injuries were reported.
The situation is being closely monitored to ensure the highest levels of aviation safety, and the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority is working with relevant authorities to address the situation.
