Key points
- A second Pakistani national has been reported killed in the UAE as fallout from the Middle East conflict spreads across Gulf cities.
- Officials say the latest victim died in Dubai after debris from an interception hit his vehicle.
A Pakistani driver was killed in Dubai's Al Barsha area after debris from an aerial interception struck his vehicle shortly after Iftar, according to officials cited by Geo News. The incident happened near Sheikh Zayed Road and reportedly caused a brief fire.
Authorities said no additional casualties were reported at the site, but an investigation has begun to determine the circumstances of the incident, including whether the victim received an emergency alert on his phone. The death raised the toll from recent regional attacks to four, including two Pakistani nationals.
The report links the fatality to the broader Middle East crisis, which has expanded beyond Iran and Israel to affect Gulf states as well. Geo News said another Pakistani, Murid Zaman from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, had earlier been killed in Abu Dhabi after being hit by missile fragments.
