The intensifying West Asia conflict is exacting a toll on Indian nationals, with multiple deaths and injuries reported across the region over the past month.

On Friday, at least a dozen people were injured in Abu Dhabi after debris from a foiled aerial attack fell to the ground, according to the government media office.

Five of those injured were Indian nationals.

As families in India await clarity, a series of subsequent incidents has underscored the vulnerability of civilians, including Indian workers and seafarers, caught in the crossfire.

The most recent reported death came on March 28, when an Indian national was killed in Kuwait following an Iranian strike on a desalination plant. The identity of the victim has not yet been disclosed.

On March 24, an Indian national was among two killed after debris from an intercepted missile fell on Sweihan Street in the United Arab Emirates.

On March 18, another Indian national died in Saudi Arabia after being struck by debris from an Iranian missile intercepted over Riyadh, according to the Indian Embassy.

On March 13, two Indians were killed in Oman’s Sohar city when a drone crashed in the Al-Awahi industrial area. Eleven others were injured, including ten Indian nationals.

A day earlier, on March 12, an Indian national was killed after an explosive-laden boat struck the US-owned tanker Safesea Vishnu near Iraq’s Khor Al Zubair port.

In another maritime attack, two Indian seafarers — Captain Ashish Kumar from Bihar and Dalip Singh from Rajasthan — were killed aboard the oil tanker Skylight in the Gulf of Oman.

The first confirmed fatality came on March 4, when Dixit Solanki, an Indian crew member, was killed when a suspected explosive-laden drone boat struck the Marshall Islands-flagged product tanker MKD VYOM off the coast of Oman.

His family on Friday moved the Bombay High Court seeking repatriation.

With the conflict now stretching beyond a month, the humanitarian cost continues to rise.

Reports indicate that more than 2,700 people have been killed across the region, with higher casualties reported on the Iranian side, while millions have been displaced.

Civilians remain the worst affected — and Indian nationals, spread across key economic sectors in West Asia, are finding themselves in the crossfire.
