According to the Dubai Media Office, two Ghanaian nationals and one Bangladeshi national sustained minor injuries, while an Indian national was moderately injured.
Officials said the drones fell near the airport following aerial interceptions during the ongoing regional conflict.
UAE air defence systems have been actively intercepting incoming missiles and drones launched toward the country in recent days.
In its latest update on Wednesday night, the UAE Ministry of Defence said air defence units engaged 6 ballistic missiles, 7 cruise missiles and 39 drones in the most recent wave of attacks.
Since the start of the escalation, UAE air defences have engaged a total of 268 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles and 1,514 drones, according to official figures.
Authorities continue to urge residents to follow official channels for updates and to avoid approaching any debris from intercepted missiles or drones.
