Another Pakistani killed in UAE as missile debris falls in Abu Dhabi
ABU DHABI: Another Pakistani national has been killed in the UAE after falling debris from an intercepted ballistic missile struck the Baniyas area of Abu Dhabi, authorities said.
The Abu Dhabi government said air defence systems successfully intercepted the missile, but fragments fell in the area, resulting in the fatality.
Officials urged the public to rely only on official sources and avoid spreading rumours or unverified information.
The latest death brings the total number of fatalities in recent attacks on the UAE to seven, according to authorities. At least three of the victims are Pakistani nationals — one in Dubai and two in Abu Dhabi.
Pakistan’s Embassy in the UAE said it was “profoundly saddened” by the loss, adding that it is in close coordination with local authorities to extend all possible support to the bereaved family and facilitate the repatriation process at the earliest.
“We are profoundly saddened by the tragic loss of a Pakistani national in Abu Dhabi’s Baniyas area due to falling debris following the interception of a missile,” the embassy said. “In this hour of grief, we share in the family’s pain and offer our deepest condolences and prayers.”
Authorities said the incident followed the interception of a ballistic missile, with UAE air defence systems responding to the threat.
Earlier this month, a Pakistani driver was killed in Dubai’s Al Barsha area after debris from an aerial interception struck his vehicle shortly after Iftar.
In a separate incident, a Pakistani national, Murid Zaman, a resident of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was killed in Abu Dhabi’s Madinat Zayed area after being struck by missile fragments, according to diplomatic officials.
The escalation comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, which killed senior leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has since responded by targeting Israel and Gulf states hosting US military installations.

Woman on Coldplay “kiss cam” speaks about backlash from scandal and how it differed from CEO
After the US and Israel attacked Iran, a video circulating online that has gained tens of thousands of views, claims to show the President of the United States saying that Pakistan has threatened to join the war and strike Israel.
The claim is false. The clip of Trump was created using artificial intelligence (AI).
Claim
On March 3, a user shared a 51-second video clip in which Trump can allegedly be heard saying: “Pakistan has warned Israel and the US, because Israel mistakenly said Pakistan is number two after Iran. Pakistan is fully alert with its air, land, and marine forces.”
He is further heard saying that Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif warned that if Israel attacks Iran again, Pakistan will destroy Israel.
“But here’s what I say: Pakistan should not do that,” Trump allegedly adds in the video. “Pakistan has no problem with us; their army is already on high alert. In my opinion, Pakistan should not get involved. This is Israel and Iran’s war. We need peace in the region.”
At the time of writing, the post had been viewed 77,900 times, liked 1,700 times, and reshared 604 times.
Similar claims have also been shared on Facebook, Threads and Instagram.
Fact
The viral video was generated using publicly available AI tools. Donald Trump did not make any such remarks about Pakistan recently.
Geo Fact Check conducted a reverse image search of keyframes from the video and traced the actual footage back to May 30, 2025, when Trump held a press conference with American businessman Elon Musk at the White House, long before the US launched a war with Iran this year.
The original footage is available on the official White House YouTube channel. In the 52-minute press conference, Donald Trump never mentions Pakistan’s defence minister. The only reference to Pakistan occurs at the 13:00-mark, where Trump thanks officials of India and Pakistan for ending their armed conflict in May.
Additionally, Hive Moderation, an AI-content detection platform, analysed the viral clip and gave it a 95.4% score, indicating that its audio was AI-generated.
Verdict: Donald Trump has not made any remarks about Pakistan, its military, or its defence minister since the US attacked Iran on February 28.
