A Pakistani national was killed in Abu Dhabi after debris from an intercepted missile fell in the Bani Yas area, Al Jazeera reported on Tuesday, citing the Abu Dhabi Media Office.

Since the US-Israel attack on Iran began 18 days ago, three Pakistanis have lost their lives in the conflict and one killed near Balochistan due to falling debris from a missile. 

The incident occurred as missile and drone activity linked to the ongoing regional conflict continues to affect parts of the Gulf.

The Abu Dhabi Media Office identified the victim as a Pakistani national and stated that the death was caused by falling debris following an interception.

 

Earlier incidents have also involved Pakistani nationals during aerial interceptions in the UAE.

 

On February 28, a Pakistani citizen died during the interception of an Iranian missile after strikes on Iran triggered retaliatory attacks. On March 8, another Pakistani was killed in Dubai’s Al Barsha area when debris from an interception fell onto a vehicle.

 

Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif had expressed grief over the deaths and directed authorities to facilitate the repatriation of the bodies.

 

On the same day, a fisherman from Gwadar was killed in Iranian waters after debris from a missile struck his boat. Local officials identified him as Muhammad Tayyab, a resident of Gwadar district in Balochistan.

 

On March 6, falling debris in Abu Dhabi injured six Pakistani and Nepalese nationals following the interception of a drone.

 

The conflict began on February 28 after the United States and Israel carried out strikes on Iran, followed by missile and drone attacks targeting locations across the region.
