The incident happened on Sunday when air defence systems in the UAE intercepted a missile, causing debris to fall at Khor Fakkan port and sparking a fire. According to Sharjah Media Office, three Pakistanis sustained minor to moderate injuries, while one Nepalese national was seriously hurt and shifted to hospital.
This is not the first such case — four Pakistani nationals have already lost their lives in the UAE due to falling debris from missile interceptions amid the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran and Iran’s retaliatory attacks on Gulf countries.
PM Shehbaz reiterated Pakistan’s solidarity with the “brotherly people of the UAE” and called for urgent restraint and de-escalation in the region to prevent further harm to civilians.
