Yemen’s Houthi rebels have reportedly targeted Dubai’s Jebel Ali industrial area, with explosions and fires reported across the site, according to a report by Iran’s Mehr news agency.

Videos circulating on social media showed flames and thick smoke rising from the industrial zone. Emirati officials reportedly acknowledged at least seven explosions within a span of 20 minutes but did not immediately reveal the cause of the incident.

The UAE media has not released an official account of the incident but confirmed that multiple explosions were heard in the area. NASA thermal imagery indicated that the fire broke out at a warehouse near the Jebel Ali port, which is used for fuel storage and transfer.

At least two people were reportedly detained for filming the fire, according to Arab media reports. No information on casualties or the extent of the damage was immediately available.

Meanwhile, explosions were also reported in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, with conflicting reports over their cause. Some sources attributed the blasts to air strikes, while others claimed they were linked to missile launches from Yemeni territory.
