From the ground, the smoke was definitely visible from most areas of Dubai (including from my office area near Downtown about 20 minutes from the airport), and caused a haze in many areas.
My hope was the OP would reply to confirm it was hit and I’d then ask them how they knew. Which would then dig up official reports and thus render the OPs point….well, pointless.

The airport is in the middle of the city. Extraordinary people think something like that can be kept secret.
