A building at the Dubai International Financial Center sustained damage Friday after what authorities described as a “successful interception.”
The building, known as the DIFC Innovation Hub, bore fire damage Friday morning, with pieces of its facade torn away.
The Dubai Media Office earlier described the incident as “a successful interception.” It did not elaborate on what had been intercepted, nor did it acknowledge the damage done to DIFC.
DIFC is an economic free zone for banks, capital traders and wealth managers, home to exclusive restaurants and nightclubs for the city-state’s elite.
Iran’s joint military command on Wednesday said banks and financial institutions were now a target in the Middle East after an airstrike hit a bank in Tehran.
