New Delhi, March 1 Indonesian coach Irwansyah Adi Pratama, who trains two-time Olympic medallist P V Sindhu, had a narrow escape after an explosion occurred near where they were stationed at Dubai Airport while traveling to Birmingham for the All England Championships.
Sindhu and Irwansyah were left stranded at Dubai International Airport after flight operations were suspended due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. The tournament is scheduled to begin on Tuesday.
Explosions were reported across parts of the Gulf after Iran responded with a salvo of missiles, including in the United Arab Emirates' capital Abu Dhabi and in Dubai, prompting the suspension of all flights at Dubai airport.
"In Dubai at the moment, flights are being cancelled. There was an explosion at the airport, so we are currently stuck here," Irwansyah told
