INDIAN KILLED IN ABU DHABI: On Thursday, at least two of them, including an Indian national, were killed and three others wounded as the debris of an intercepted missile landed on a street in Abu Dhabi, authorities said, as the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defence reacted to a continuous aerial threat by Iran.
The number of Indian nationals who have been killed in the current conflict in West Asia has now grown to at least seven.
The Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a statement that the incident took place after the air defence systems had successfully intercepted a ballistic missile in Sweihan Street.
Two people of Pakistani and Indian nationalities died due to the falling debris, and three others, who are Emirati, Jordanian and Indian nationals, had serious to moderate conditions.
Several cars were also damaged in the incident, authorities claimed, and they would update more as the events unfold. The government encouraged people to trust the authorities and avoid sharing unchecked information.
Recent deaths have forced the total number of deaths in the UAE to 11 since the outbreak of conflicts, as reported by local media.
Some of the earlier murders included three armed force members, and six civilians, including those from Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Palestine had also been murdered by the defence ministry.
On the previous day, the ministry announced the extent of the attacks, stating, “Since the beginning of the blatant Iranian aggression, UAE air defences have intercepted 357 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,815 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).”
The ministry also announced the number of injured, which reached 166 by Wednesday. The injured were also citizens of various countries, including the UAE, India, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and many others.
The extent of the injuries varied, reflecting the extent of the attacks. The ministry reiterated its statement regarding its readiness to deal with any threat, stating, “The ministry affirms its complete readiness to deal with any threat to the country’s sovereignty, security, and stability.”
In Uttar Pradesh, the family of the 26-year-old Indian man killed in a suspected missile strike in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has sought compensation and government help.
Ravi Gopal, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur district, died in the incident earlier this week. His mortal remains were brought to his native Baghain village on Wednesday with the help of the Ministry of External Affairs and other authorities.
