PHOTO: REUTERSA Pakistani national has been killed in the United Arab Emirates after debris from an intercepted missile fell in Abu Dhabi, according to Al Jazeera. On February 28, a Pakistani citizen died in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the interception of an Iranian missile after joint US and Israeli strikes on Iran prompted retaliatory attacks. Another Pakistani death occurred the same day, when a fisherman from Gwadar was killed in Iranian waters after debris from an Israeli missile, intercepted by Iranian air defences, struck his boat. On March 6, falling debris in Abu Dhabi injured six Pakistani and Nepalese nationals because of an intercepted drone and wider missile activity over the UAE. Since then, Iranian missile and drone attacks have targeted Israel as well as US-linked and strategic sites across several Gulf states, widening the danger zone for expatriate workers, including large Pakistani communities in the UAE and elsewhere in the region.
