Background

The developments come amid escalating tensions in the Gulf region. Earlier on Saturday, Iran launched a series of missile and drone strikes across the Gulf in what appeared to be retaliation for coordinated military action by the United States and Israel. 

Reports said the strikes targeted US military bases and allied states, including Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE.

Authorities in several Gulf countries have been on heightened alert following the attacks. Air defence systems were reportedly activated in parts of the region to intercept incoming threats.

Meanwhile, the situation has disrupted travel and movement. Bollywood actress Sonal Chauhan and Indian shuttler PV Sindhu are currently stranded in Dubai, while the Indian basketball team in Doha is unable to proceed due to operational disruptions.
