ABU DHABI: The fourth Pakistani national was killed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the recent missile escalation, officials said on Thursday, with arrangements being made to repatriate his body to Pakistan for burial.
The incident occurred on Sweihan Street, a mixed residential and industrial area in the northeast of Abu Dhabi city, after debris fell following the interception of a ballistic missile by air defense systems, authorities said.
The Pakistan Embassy in Abu Dhabi said it is coordinating closely with UAE authorities during this difficult 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 left three Pakistani nationals dead, bringing the total to four amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran.
