According to BBC Amharic, three killed and fifty-eight others wounded in the two days of Iranian missile attack on UAE. Based on the report, the injury is not life threatening.
Those killed are Pakistani, Nepali and Bangladeshi nationals.
The Country’s Ministry of Defense shared updates on its X page.

Woe, woe, woe to my people of Ethiopians and Eritreans!!! This war will not wrap up soon and it may go on for weeks. Our people of Eritreans and Ethiopians will be caught in the crossfire and victimized as this news article proved. It may be too late for most of them to evacuate now because almost all flights have been cancelled in that area and the goons in Tehran will keep raining deadly drones and missiles on UAE and Kuwait until they run out of ammo. May The Good Lord The Merciful blanket our people from any harm!!!
I just read on another website that an Ethiopian was killed by an Iranian drone in Dubai. Woe, woe, woe!!!
