Dubai, March 11: An Indian national was among four people injured when two drones fell near Dubai International Airport, officials reported on Wednesday. The cause of the crashes is under investigation, and authorities are reviewing safety protocols for drone operations in the vicinity of the busy airport.
Emergency teams responded promptly, attending to the injured and securing the crash sites. Local media reported that the injuries were not life-threatening, though all affected were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment and observation.
Airport authorities confirmed that air traffic was not disrupted and flights continued as scheduled. However, the incident has raised concerns about the increasing use of drones in areas close to major aviation facilities.
Investigators are examining whether the crashes were caused by technical failures, human error, or other external factors. Dubai’s civil aviation regulator has vowed to strengthen drone safety measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Security experts have highlighted the potential risks of unregulated drone activity near airports, noting that even small drones can pose serious hazards to commercial aviation if they enter restricted airspace.
