Dubai Police have confirmed that traffic is now flowing normally on all roads leading to Airport Road after the earlier closure of Al Amiri Airport Intersection, including the route from Al Khawaneej Street towards Al Rashidiya.

Several roads near Dubai International Airport (DXB) were closed on Monday morning as authorities responded to a fire that affected a fuel tank following a drone-related incident.
