Sindhu recounts ''tense and scary'' ordeal after explosion near Dubai Airport, safe now

NEW DELHI: (Mar 1) Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu on Sunday described a "tense and scary" ordeal at the Dubai International Airport, where she and her Indonesian coach were stranded after an explosion occurred close to the area where they were staying amid escalating tensions in the Gulf region.

The disruption comes after the United States and Israel launched a major offensive on Iran, leading to retaliatory missile strikes across parts of the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates.

The developments forced multiple airlines to cancel or reroute flights.
