Two people were injured when a residential building was targeted in Oman’s Bukha along the coastline of the Strait of Hormuz, state media reported on Monday.
“A security source reported that a residential building for employees of a company in the Tibat area of Bukha was targeted, resulting in moderate injuries to two expatriates, damage to four vehicles and broken glass in one of the nearby houses,” the Oman News Agency said.
It came as the UAE’s defense ministry and state news agency on Monday said a fresh Iranian barrage had targeted the country following multiple alerts from authorities warning people to take cover.
State news agency WAM cited the defense ministry as saying its forces were working to repel missile and drone attacks coming from Iran.
The UAE slammed the latest Iranian barrage, calling the attacks a “dangerous escalation.”
“These attacks represent a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable transgression, posing a direct threat to the state’s security, stability, and the safety of its territories,” the UAE’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
It added that the UAE “reserves its full and legitimate right to respond to these attacks.”
