A second Pakistani citizen has died in the United Arab Emirates after falling debris from an aerial interception struck a vehicle in Dubai. The incident happened late Saturday night in the Al Barsha area of Dubai, according to local authorities.
Officials said the victim was working as a driver when debris fell onto his car during a defensive interception operation. Emergency teams reached the scene quickly, but the man could not survive his injuries.
This tragic event follows another recent death involving a Pakistani national in Abu Dhabi. Earlier, a man identified as Mureed Zaman from Bannu in Pakistan was killed after debris from an intercepted missile fell onto a residential area.
Authorities in the United Arab Emirates confirmed that both incidents were caused by falling fragments from intercepted aerial threats. Investigations are ongoing to determine more details about the incidents.
The events come at a time of growing tensions in the Middle East involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. Military activities and missile interceptions in the region have increased in recent months, raising concerns about safety in nearby areas.
UAE officials expressed their condolences to the families of the victims. They also stressed that attacks that harm civilians violate international humanitarian law and must be avoided to protect innocent lives.
