Seven explosions in Dubai in 20 minutes, cause unclear

Seven explosions occurred within just 20 minutes in the Jebel Ali industrial area of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. No official information on casualties or damage was immediately released following the incident on Wednesday morning.

Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency reported the information.

Videos circulating on social media showed thick black smoke billowing over the Jebel Ali industrial area after the explosions. However, two people have been arrested for recording and sharing these videos, according to reports.

Meanwhile, several Iraq-based media outlets claimed that Iran-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen had carried out missile attacks. However, there was no immediate official confirmation from UAE authorities or any other independent source regarding this claim.

International media reported that investigations are underway to determine the cause of the explosions and the extent of possible damage.
