In a significant update from the UAE, an Indian worker hurt during Iran’s aggressive missile and drone onslaught has been declared safe by the Indian mission in Abu Dhabi. The revelation came as the UAE Defense Ministry detailed the human toll: fatalities among workers from Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh, with dozens more from 15 nationalities bearing minor wounds, including one Indian.
The embassy’s statement emphasized direct coordination with hospital staff, confirming the patient’s condition as non-critical. ‘We are providing every possible aid,’ it noted, reflecting India’s proactive diplomatic stance in safeguarding its diaspora amid escalating hostilities.
The scale of Iran’s assault is staggering. UAE forces downed 165 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles, and over 500 drones since the campaign started. Day two saw intense action: 20 ballistic missiles obliterated, eight splashing harmlessly into waters, plus 311 drones and two cruise missiles eliminated.
Falling wreckage inflicted limited damage on homes and infrastructure nationwide. Yet, UAE authorities affirmed total readiness against threats, placing citizen security at the forefront. This incident underscores vulnerabilities faced by expatriate communities in conflict zones, with New Delhi’s embassy playing a pivotal role in crisis response.
