Middle East Conflict: Two Dead in Oman - Saudi Arabia Downed Drone

Two people were killed by a drone in northern Oman, while Saudi Arabia shot down a drone heading towards the diplomatic district of Riyadh, as part of Iran's attacks on Gulf countries in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes. In Dubai, a building was damaged by debris from an intercepted missile, with no casualties reported. The UAE authorities announced that they have intercepted more than 1,500 Iranian drones and nearly 300 missiles since the start of the attacks. Iran has threatened to attack economic centers in the region, prompting companies to evacuate personnel. The Dubai airport and port, as well as Palm Jumeirah island, have been targeted. The situation remains tense, and the international community is calling for de-escalation and dialogue.
