The situation in the Middle East conflict zone continues to rapidly deteriorate, reaching a critical point for civil aviation and international security. In recent hours, alarming reports have emerged of a series of new powerful explosions recorded in the immediate vicinity of Dubai International Airport. Eyewitnesses are sharing video footage on social media clearly showing a massive plume of thick smoke rising over one of the world's largest airports immediately after the supposed landing. This incident occurred amid confirmed reports of a second massive launch of Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at strategic targets in Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

The sharp escalation of hostilities and the direct threat to flight safety have forced leading air carriers to take emergency measures to protect passengers and crews. Specifically, Russian airline Aeroflot officially announced the cancellation of all scheduled flights to Dubai and Abu Dhabi on March 1. According to the company's press service, this decision was prompted by the introduction of strict restrictions on the use of UAE airspace due to the high level of military activity in the region. Experts note that the de facto blockade of the Persian Gulf's largest aviation hubs could lead to a global disruption of international travel. Airport security and the Emirates military are currently assessing the extent of damage to infrastructure, while the risk of further missile strikes from Iran remains extremely high.
