Four people have been injured after two drones fell near Dubai International Airport (DXB) on Wednesday, the authorities announced, adding that air traffic continued without disruptions.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Police have extended the 24/7 truck movement permit until the evening of Sunday, March 22. 

Authorities are urging the public to stay in a safe location as UAE defence systems respond to incoming missile and drone threats from Iran.

At least six people have died, and three others were injured in a bus fire on Tuesday in a small town in western Switzerland, in what police said may have been a deliberate act following reports that a person on board set fire to themselves.

The US military says it "eliminated" 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday in a statement by its Central Command, as President Donald Trump warned that any mines laid in the strait by Iran must be removed immediately.

Britain is working with allies on a range of options to support commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz in the face of Iranian threats, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's spokesperson said on Tuesday as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran roils oil prices.
