It appears no Americans were killed in the attack, as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that all the embassy’s personnel in Dubai were accounted for.
No injuries resulting from the attack were reported, according to Reuters.
Rubio further noted that U.S. personnel had been withdrawn from the region as Tehran’s counterattacks have escalated.
The consulate strike is just the latest of a series of drone attacks launched by Tehran in recent days.
On Monday night, two Iranian drones attacked the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the nation’s capital.
