7 Nepalese injured by debris of missiles in Abu Dhabi

Seven Nepali nationals, who sustained injuries from the debris of missiles intercepted by the UAE’s air defence system in Abu Dhabi, “are out of danger”, Nepal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Saturday. 

“Six of the injured have already returned to work after receiving treatment, while one remains under medical care,” according to the ministry’s spokesperson, Lok Bahadur Chhetri.

Due to the escalating conflict in West Asian countries, Foreign Ministry officials are working even on holidays to gather information on the situation, he said. The Nepali Embassy in Dubai has also confirmed that all those injured on Friday are out of danger.  The embassy has informed that it is in contact with the injured Nepalis. Embassy officials have already met with four of those who were discharged from the hospital on Friday. “All four of them are in good condition, and coordination is underway to provide necessary assistance,” Chhetri said. 

The Nepali national currently undergoing treatment in a hospital is recovering and is expected to be discharged in a few days, he added. Chhetri stated that the Foreign Ministry is regularly monitoring the situation in the UAE and other countries, ensuring that those in difficulty receive timely assistance from relevant authorities.
