“Images from the recent air strike near Abu Dhabi airport”
What FACTLY found
These images have nothing to do with the recent air strikes on Abu Dhabi and are related to different incidents which have occurred in the past. While one image is related to crash landing of an aircraft in Dubai in 2016, another image is related to a drone attack in middle east, back in 2019. Another image has been used as a representational image for bomb blasts over the years
