Two explosive drones targeted the US embassy in Baghdad, with one landing near the embassy, according to security sources early Tuesday morning. Smoke was seen rising from the area.

Flights at Dubai International Airport were temporarily suspended due to the incident, and some flights were diverted to Al Maktoum International Airport in Jebel Ali.

Sources from Gulf states who spoke to the Post said that one reason those countries have not launched an attack is their concern about the “day after.”
