As the news portal BNO News reported, a large explosion occurred in the port of Jebel Ali on the outskirts of Dubai, according to witnesses and local media.
The incident occurred around midnight (local time) and could be seen and heard across the city – a video shows the fireball from a distance.
A Blick reader reporter who lives in Dubai was able to observe everything. He was on the beach watching the football match between Denmark and England when it happened. Suddenly he saw a bright red light in the sky. “After ten seconds there were two or three very, very loud explosions,” he says.
According to the AP news agency, it was a container ship that is moored in Dubai’s port. Fire caught fire and caused the explosion. (bra / euc)
