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 attack, but all 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, including the UAE.

The Indian government has expressed its condolences to the families of the deceased and is providing assistance to the injured.

Efforts are underway to transport the body of an Indian crew member killed in an attack on a US-owned oil tanker back to the country.

Over 150,000 Indian nationals have returned from West Asia since February 28, including 2,900 from Qatar and 1,000 from Bahrain.
