United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed on Tuesday that a drone hit a parking lot adjacent to the country's consulate in Dubai, with fire then spreading to the main building.
Speaking to the media on Capitol Hill, Rubio pointed out that the staff had been evacuated before the incident, but also noted that "our embassies and diplomatic facilities are under direct attack from a terroristic regime," referring to Iran.
Rubio urged all US citizens in the Middle East to contact the country's consular services for help in evacuation. He said that 16,000 have so far requested assistance, and that about 9,000 have already left the region. The secretary insisted that the US is working with its partner to evacuate its citizens via air and ground, while noting the problem of closed airspace. Moreover, he added that the Kuwait International Airport had been struck, as several others before.
