A similar incident took place north of Dubai, five or so years ago. Also an IL76, but a freighter, bound for somewhere north of PAPAR. Clam doors burst and some 4 - 6 tonnes of freight were lost. Can't remeber exactly, but the aircarft departed either SHJ or DXB. The pilot just asked to return due to a tech problem, no emergency declared. One door was blown out and the other was badly bent. The aircraft was some 30 north of Dubai when it happened, so obviously not at any great altitude.
