The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that two Ghanaian nationals were injured in a drone incident near Dubai International Airport on Wednesday, March 11.
The government says the injuries are not critical and that both individuals are expected to make a full recovery.
In a statement issued on the same day, the ministry noted that United Arab Emirates authorities are working with Ghana’s diplomatic missions to ensure the victims receive appropriate care.
“The Government of Ghana strongly condemns any act that endangers civilian lives and critical infrastructure,” the statement read in part.
Ghana’s Ambassador in the UAE has led a team from the Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate in Dubai to visit the injured nationals in hospital, offering consular assistance.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterates the Government of Ghana’s commitment to the protection and welfare of Ghanaian citizens wherever they may be,” the statement added.
The Ministry says it is closely monitoring the situation and is actively engaging with both UAE authorities and the United Nations to support efforts aimed at ending hostilities in the region.
This comes amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East following coordinated military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran that began on Saturday, February 28, and have since escalated into a broader conflict across the region.
Meanwhile, Ghana has lodged a formal complaint with United Nations Secretary‑General António Guterres over a missile attack on its peacekeepers in southern Lebanon that left several Ghanaian soldiers injured.
