ABU DHABI: The fourth Pakistani national has been killed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the latest missile escalation, officials said on Thursday, with arrangements underway to repatriate his body to Pakistan for burial.
The incident took place in Sweihan Street, a mixed residential and industrial area in the northeast of Abu Dhabi, after debris fell following the interception of a ballistic missile by air defense systems, authorities said.
The Pakistani Embassy Abu Dhabi said it is coordinating closely with the UAE authorities during this challenging time to support the bereaved family and facilitate repatriation.
UAE authorities confirmed that the incident also killed an Indian national and injured three others – of Emirati, Jordanian and Indian nationalities – with injuries ranging from moderate to serious.
Earlier incidents in Dubai and other parts of Abu Dhabi have left three Pakistani nationals dead, bringing the total to four amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran.
