Two Indian nationals were killed in a drone strike in Oman's Al Awahi Industrial Area, marking the first Indian fatalities on land in a West Asian country since the Iran-US conflict began on February 28.
Ten Indians were also injured in the strike and are reported to be out of danger. More than three dozen Indians have been injured in drone and missile strikes in several West Asian countries.
The Indian government has expressed its condolences to the families of the deceased and is working to ensure the safety and security of 10 million Indian nationals living in the region.
Since the start of the conflict, three Indian sailors have been killed in attacks on merchant vessels and tankers, and one has been reported missing.
The Indian government has also evacuated 15 crew members of the US-owned oil tanker Safesea Vishnu, which was attacked near Basra city of Iraq, and is working to transport the body of an Indian crew member who was killed in the attack back to the country.
