Iran has launched their latest barrage of missiles hitting the International Financial Centre in Dubai as well as entering Turkish airspace.
Tehran has rained drone strikes across the Middle East after the US and Israel killed Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei in Operation Epic Fury.
This morning smoke could be seen billowing across the heart of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates after Iran launched their latest retaliatory strikes.
Dubai authorities said there have been no reported injuries and only minor damage to the building.
The attacks are now teetering towards Europe, with Turkey confirming NATO shot down a third ballistic missile this morning.
The country’s defence ministry said: ‘A ballistic munition launched from Iran and entering Turkish airspace was neutralised by NATO air and missile defence assets deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean.’

On Saturday, all flights in and out of Dubai were grounded, with one of the biggest airlines Emirates confirming they need to prioritise the safety of their staff.
Meanwhile a US military plane has been downed in a suspected mid-air collision in Iraq.

The tanker is the fourth publicly acknowledged aircraft to crash as part of the US military’s operations against Iran.
Last week, three American fighter jets were mistakenly downed by friendly Kuwaiti fire.
