Tourists flee as Iranian missiles intercepted over Dubai skyline
Holidaymakers in Dubai scrambled for cover as Iranian missiles were intercepted above the city, following a major escalation in the Middle East.

While President Donald Trump declared the start of significant combat operations to topple the Iranian regime, Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed Britain is not participating in the attacks but remains on high alert to protect UK nationals.
