Purported video footage surfaced on social media showing a large cloud of thick smoke rising from the vicinity of Jebel Ali Port after the blasts. Iraqi media said the Jebel Ali Port had been hit by missiles fired from Yemen. UAE authorities reportedly arrested two people for filming the fire that followed the attack.
