'We Could Hear Sounds Of Interceptions And Explosions': Sindhu Shares Frightening Experience From Dubai Amid Middle East Crisis (Ld)
All England Open: Ace Indian shuttler PV Sindhu, who was left stranded at the Dubai Airport on Saturday en route to Birmingham as flight operations were suspended owing to escalating tensions between Iran and the US-Israel, shared her harrowing experience from Dubai and said the last few hours have been "extremely tense" as there were "sounds of interceptions and explosions" very close to where she and her team were holed up at Dubai Airport.
Sindhu was travelling to Birmingham for the prestigious All England Open, which starts on Tuesday, and had a layover in Dubai on the way. But the two-time Olympic medallist stranded at Dubai airport due to major flight disruption.
"I was transiting from Bangalore, where I train and live full-time now, to Birmingham in the UK to compete in the All England championships. And, once our flight landed in Dubai, events beyond our control began to unfold, and shortly after the airspace also was shut down. And the last few hours have been extremely tense. We could hear the sounds of interceptions overhead, and a few hours later, there was an explosion very close to where we were holed up at Dubai Airport," Sindhu said in a video message.
