At least two Ghanaians have been injured in a drone attack in Dubai, according to an official statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The incident comes barely a week after two Ghanaian soldiers serving on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon were critically injured when their base came under missile attack amid escalating hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, March 11, the Foreign Ministry condemned the attack and called for an end to the ongoing hostilities.
“The Government of Ghana confirms that two of our citizens have been injured by a drone attack in Dubai today,” the statement said.
“Their families and loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers. The Government of Ghana condemns the attack and reiterates calls for a cessation in hostilities. We are actively engaged with international partners on a UN resolution urging de-escalation.”
The Ministry also stated that Ghana’s Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates has led a team from the Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate in Dubai to visit the victims, while the Foreign Ministry coordinates emergency consular assistance.
