New Delhi | An Indian national is among 58 people who sustained minor injuries in Iranian military strikes targeting the United Arab Emirates, according to details shared by the UAE.
The Indian embassy in Abu Dhabi said it is aware of the injury to the Indian national and is in touch with hospital authorities.
"The Indian national is out of danger. We are rendering all possible assistance," the mission said on social media.
The UAE defence ministry said three people were killed and 58 sustained minor injuries in the Iranian strikes.
Iran has carried out a wave of attacks, mainly targeting Israeli and American military bases in several Gulf countries, after the United States and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday.
The Iranian retaliation increased after Tehran announced early on Sunday that the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the Israel-US strikes.
The UAE defence ministry said its military has dealt with 165 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles and 541 drones fired by Iran since the start of its attack.
"A total of 541 Iranian drones were detected, of which 506 were intercepted and destroyed, while 35 fell within the country, causing material damage," it said.
"The incidents resulted in three fatalities of Pakistani, Nepali and Bangladeshi nationalities, and 58 minor injuries among Emirati, Egyptian, Ethiopian, Filipino, Pakistani, Iranian, Indian, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Azerbaijani, Yemeni, Ugandan, Eritrean, Lebanese and Afghan nationals," it said.
The specific location within the UAE where the Indian national sustained the injury is not yet clear.
New Delhi | A Palau-flagged oil tanker with 15 Indian crew members came under attack from the Iranian military off Oman's Musandam peninsula and four people were injured in the strike, Omani authorities said on Sunday.
Iran has carried out a wave of attacks mainly targeting Israel and American military bases in several Gulf countries after the US and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday.
The Iranian retaliation increased after Tehran announced early Sunday that the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the Israel-US strike.
Oman's Maritime Security Center said the oil tanker Skylight was subjected to an attack around five nautical miles north of the port of Khasab in the Musandam governorate, according to Oman news agency.
The entire crew of 20 individuals, comprising 15 Indian nationals and five Iranians, have been safely evacuated, it said.
It said four crew members sustained injuries of varying degrees and have been given medical care.
People familiar with the incident indicated that New Delhi is in touch with the relevant authorities.
Iran on Sunday said it will avenge the killing of Khamenei, triggering fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.
The US-Israel joint strikes on Iran came after weeks of negotiations between Washington and Tehran on the Iranian nuclear programme did not produce any tangible outcome.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Saturday that India is deeply concerned at the recent developments in Iran and the Gulf region.
"We urge all sides to exercise restraint, avoid escalation, and prioritise the safety of civilians," it said.
"Dialogue and diplomacy should be pursued to de-escalate tensions and address underlying issues. Sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected," it added.
