A video showing a British man's lucky escape in Dubai after a drone smashed into his apartment during an Iranian attack has gone viral online.
Tehran launched retaliatory attacks across parts of the Middle East after joint US-Israeli strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader on Saturday, triggering days of explosions and aerial interceptions across the UAE.
In the viral video, a man speaking with a British accent filmed the aftermath inside his high-rise flat, claiming it had just been struck by a drone.
The apartment, which he said is located on the 19th floor of the Warda luxury apartment complex in the Town Square development, appeared heavily damaged.
Broken furniture and shattered glass were seen scattered across the living room floor.
Sounding shaken but composed, the man told viewers, “No joking guys, we have just been hit by a drone. We heard it coming, it stinks of oil in here. I didn’t even finish my cuppa tea.”
He ended the short clip abruptly, saying: “We’re off.”
The video drew thousands of reactions online, with many commenting on what they described as a characteristically understated British response.
The incident comes as Dubai and other Middle Eastern countries face continued fallout from Iran’s missile and drone barrage.
