(Dunya News) - Debris from a “successful interception” fell on residential houses in southern Dubai, resulting in property damage and minor injuries to four Asian nationals, the Dubai Media Office says.

A day earlier Iran attacked and set ablaze a fully loaded crude oil tanker off Dubai, as President Donald Trump warned the US would obliterate Iran's energy plants and oil wells if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz.

The apparent strike on the Kuwait-flagged Al-Salmi is the latest in a string of assaults on merchant vessels by missiles or explosive air and sea drones in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz since the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28.

The month-long conflict has spread across the Middle East, killing thousands, disrupting energy supplies and threatening to send the global economy into a tailspin.
