(Previous Incident Code: IRUAE260228a )

On February 28, 2026, a Pakistani national was killed after shrapnel and/or missile fragments from an alleged Iranian missile or UAE interceptor missile fell on a residential area in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

According to the reports by the UAE Ministry of Defense, one person was killed. News of Bahrain reported that 44-year-old Murib Zaman Nizar had been killed by missile debris in Abu Dhabi. Murib was from Bannu in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region and was described as a “devoted” father of five and primary provider for three household.

Those that knew Murib told News of Bahrain that he was selfless and had a relentless work ethic, supporting his brother’s widow and children after his brother died two years before. Murib’s nephew, Dr. Shahzeb Khan, said that Murib took care of three separate families and often took on personal debt to help friends in need without letting the stress show: “He had a big heart. He was always smiling.” Just days before he was killed, he had sent home money so that his children – between four and 12 years old – could buy new clothes for Eid, while dreaming of building a permanent home for his family in Bannu and taking his elderly parents on the Umrah pilgrimage to Makkah.

Murib’s younger brother Muhammad Khan told The National that “My brother wanted to do a lot for his family, always spoke of wanting to build a house for his children. He was always talking about his daughters, he wanted better for them. But he is gone before he could do any of this. He was inside the house when the missiles fell on February 28.” According to Muhammad, his brother had been working in the UAE for the past 14 years and had planned to travel to his hometown for Eid.

Arab News Pakistan provided slightly different details about Murib, reporting that he had been in the UAE for eight years and was 40 years old. Nazar Ali, father of Murib, told Arab News Pakistan that “I found out the same day because nowadays it is the age of the Internet. I myself was in the market at that time when I received the news [of his death], but I did not tell the family. He used to say that ‘When I come on Eid, God willing, I will build a room for you.” Adnan Gul, Murib’s nephew, remembered his uncle as a warm and optimistic man, further adding that “His wish was to have a good home, a settled family, and a good, peaceful life. He had many wishes, but unfortunately all those wishes remained unfulfilled.”

The National spoke with Haji Daraz Khan, a Pakistani social worker, who said that Murib “was hardworking, reliable, dependable and honest, everyone trusted him. He was at work in his employer’s house when it was hit. We can’t escape death. The house was damaged and a good man who did everything to take care of everyone has died.” The article included multiple images of Murib, including one where he is in a car, one sitting in a very green field of grass, and a third of him and a young child, possibly one of his children.

According to Eye of Libya Media Network, the attack also caused minor material damage. Multiple sources, including The National, mentioned that Murib had been a driver for a family in Abu Dhabi and had been inside their home when he was killed.

News of Bahrain quoted Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, who expressed the nation’s grief at their loss and described Murib as a “dedicated and hardworking” individual whose life was taken during the conflict.

Multiple videos were included in reporting on this incident but have not been described as they were geolocated to different or previous incidents.

In this incident, local sources reported that harm resulted from falling Iranian missile debris after a Qatari interception. Specifically, Watan TV on Twitter/X reported that the cause of death was shrapnel falling from an interceptor missile. @Syria TV, referring to the Emirates News Agency, stated that one person was killed in Abu Dhabi after Iranian missiles were intercepted.

In line with Airwars’ methodology, strike status has been recorded as ‘likely’ as sources agree that the original missiles were launched by the Iranian military, and intercepted by the UAE military. As it is unclear whether the resulting harm should be attributed to the original missile or interception, the civilian harm status for such incidents has been recorded as ‘contested’.

Email: online@newsofbahrain.com Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: The family of Murib Zaman Nizar is mourning the loss of a devoted father and the primary provider for three households after he was killed by missile debris in Abu Dhabi on February 28. A 44-year-old from Bannu in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region, Nizar had spent years working as a driver in the UAE capital to secure a better future for his five young children. He was inside a residence when debris fell during the initial wave of a massive aerial assault launched by Iran. Nizar was one of six civilians killed in the strikes, a group that included nationals from the UAE, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Nizar’s life was defined by selflessness and a relentless work ethic. Following the death of his younger brother two years ago, he stepped in without hesitation to support his brother’s widow and children alongside his own family. His nephew, Dr. Shahzeb Khan, recalled that Nizar looked after three separate families, often taking on personal debt to help friends in need while never letting the stress show. "He had a big heart," his nephew shared. "He was always smiling." In the days leading up to his death, Nizar’s conversations remained focused on the milestones he hoped to achieve for his loved ones. He was saving every penny to build a permanent home in Bannu and harbored a deep wish to take his elderly parents on the Umrah pilgrimage to Makkah. In a final act of fatherly care, he had sent money home just days before the tragedy so his children, ranging in age from four to twelve, could buy new clothes for the upcoming Eid celebrations. He died before he could see the photos of them wearing those gifts. The tragedy has left the community in Bannu shattered, as they remember a man who worked a thousand miles away just to give his children opportunities he never had. Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, expressed the nation’s grief, describing Nizar as a "dedicated and hardworking" individual whose life was cut short by the ongoing conflict.Since the start of the escalation, the UAE Ministry of Defence has reported the detection of 262 ballistic missiles, 8 cruise missiles, and 1,475 drones. While the majority were intercepted, the debris from these engagements has resulted in six fatalities and 131 injuries across the country. As the UAE officially condemns the "brutal and unprovoked" assault on civilian infrastructure, Nizar’s five children are left to face a future without the father who lived entirely for their dreams.

Murib Zaman Nizar, 44, a Pakistani father of five, was killed when Iranian missile debris struck an Abu Dhabi home on February 28. The UAE condemned Iran’s continuing attacks on civilian sites and infrastructure as “brutal and unprovoked,” with six dead and more than 120 injured. The victim, a long-time UAE resident and family driver, was remembered as hardworking, dependable and devoted to supporting multiple households. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed condolences for two Pakistani nationals killed, as missions pledged round-the-clock support for the community. “He had a big heart. He could not say no to anyone,” Dr Shahzeb Khan, a general practitioner and nephew, said. A father of five young children was killed when debris from an Iranian missile landed on an Abu Dhabi home. Murib Zaman Nizar, 44, from Bannu in Pakistan’s northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region, was killed on February 28 in Abu Dhabi, the first day of Iranian missile and drone attacks on the UAE. He worked as a driver for a family in the UAE capital and died when missile debris fell on their house. The UAE has labelled Iran’s continued assault on civilian sites and infrastructure as “brutal and unprovoked”. “My brother wanted to do a lot for his family, always spoke of wanting to build a house for his children,” his younger brother Muhammad Khan told The National from their hometown. “He was always talking about his daughters, he wanted better for them. But he is gone before he could do any of this. He was inside the house when the missiles fell on February 28.”Murib is among six people killed and more than 120 injured in Iranian bombardment of more than 260 ballistic missiles, eight cruise missiles and more than 1,470 drones over the past 12 days across the Emirates. Those killed include two Emiratis, two Pakistani nationals, a Nepali and a Bangladesh national. A family manBreaking the news to his parents and accompanying his brother’s body home has been a wrenching experience for Muhammad. “Our family is poor, we are labourers and he was the hardest worker,” he said. Murib has five children. The eldest is a daughter, aged 12, and the youngest a son, four. Working in the UAE for the past 14 years, he regularly sent money home to take care of his loved ones. “My brother always wanted to go abroad to work, he was so happy to go to UAE. He would tell all of us to come to work,” Muhammad said. “He wanted security for his family.”Muhammad is a construction worker in Dubai. The brothers did not meet often due to work but had planned to go home for Eid. Instead, Murib was buried on March 7 in his hometown. The grief his family endures is shared by a wide circle of relatives and friends. Dr Shahzeb Khan, a general practitioner and his nephew, spoke to Murib often and describes a family man who quietly shouldered the responsibility of a large household. When his younger brother died two years ago, Murib took on the responsibility of taking care of his family as well.“He had a big heart. He could not say no to anyone,” Dr Khan said from Bannu town. “He would even take a loan to give money to a friend who needed support. He looked after three families, it was a lot for one person but he never showed any tension. He was always smiling. I have never seen him angry with anyone.”Murib recently sent his nephew money for Eid to buy gifts for the children. “His dream was to take care of his children, that they should be well educated, study well and have a good life. He wanted to take his elderly parents on Umrah,” Dr Khan said, referring to the pilgrimage to Makkah. “He sent me money for Eid to buy the children clothes. He never let his children want for anything. All he would talk about was the future of his girls. He was a good man, he had too short a life.”A community mournsIn Abu Dhabi, the community mourns a man known for his sense of responsibility. “He was hardworking, reliable, dependable and honest, everyone trusted him,” said Haji Daraz Khan, a Pakistani social worker. “He was at work in his employer’s house when it was hit. We can’t escape death. The house was damaged and a good man who did everything to take care of everyone has died.”Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has sent condolences to the family. Murib is among two Pakistani nationals killed in the Iranian strikes in the UAE. A second Pakistani citizen was killed when debris from an interception fell on a vehicle in Dubai’s Al Barsha area.“I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of two Pakistani nationals in UAE caused by missile debris,” Mr Sharif said in a message on X. “Our hearts go out to the bereaved family in this hour of grief.”The Pakistan embassy and consulate in the UAE said it shared the family’s pain and offered prayers. “I want to assure you that your safety and security is our priority,” Pakistan Ambassador Shafqat Ali said in a message. “I want to thank the UAE government for keeping us safe and want to say that we stand with the UAE. We are here to serve you 24/7 in both our missions to make sure our Pakistani community receives all support.”

Pakistani driver killed by missile debris in UAE, shattering economic future of families back home ISLAMABAD: For days, Nazar Ali told his daughter-in-law a gentle lie: authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had confiscated all mobile phones and her husband, Mureeb Zaman, would call home as soon as he got it back. In reality, Zaman, a 40-year-old Pakistani driver who had spent eight years working in the UAE to lift his family out of poverty, had already been killed by missile fragments during an aerial interception over Abu Dhabi amid an escalating conflict in the Middle East. The conflict began on Feb. 28 after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran following weeks of escalating tensions between Tehran and its regional adversaries. The attacks triggered retaliatory drone and missile strikes by Iran targeting commercial and US-linked interests across the Gulf region, prompting air defense systems in several countries to intercept projectiles in the skies above major cities. As interceptors met incoming missiles over the Emirati capital that night, falling debris struck Zaman, ending years of work he hoped would secure a better future for his five children in one of Pakistan’s most volatile regions. “I found out the same day because nowadays it is the age of the Internet,” Ali, Zaman’s father, told Arab News during a condolence gathering at his residence last week. “I myself was in the market at that time when I received the news [of his death], but I did not tell the family.” Zaman had been supporting three households in his hometown in Pakistan’s northwestern Bannu district, including the family of his late younger brother. The region, located in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa near the Afghan border, has witnessed a surge in militancy and counterinsurgency operations in recent years. The 40-year-old was one of millions of Pakistani migrant workers in Gulf countries whose remittances are a vital source of foreign exchange for Pakistan’s fragile economy. He is also among the first reported Pakistani casualties of the recent escalation. Two Pakistani nationals have been killed so far in aerial interceptions in the UAE, while another Pakistani died last week in a similar incident in Iranian waters off Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province, according to authorities. Zaman’s life abroad was measured in long-distance phone calls and carefully saved earnings, while his wife, four daughters and one son lived in a single room at their family home in Bannu. “He used to say that ‘When I come on Eid, God willing, I will build a room for you’,” Ali, his grieving father, said. For Zaman, working in the UAE represented an escape from the insecurity and economic hardship that have long plagued his hometown, where militant attacks targeting security forces and civilians have periodically disrupted daily life. Family members said he had hoped to return home for the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr holiday, encouraged by military operations against militant groups in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that had raised hopes of greater stability in the region. Adnan Gul, Zaman’s nephew, remembered his uncle as a warm and optimistic man who often spoke about building a better future for his family. “His wish was to have a good home, a settled family, and a good, peaceful life,” Gul said. Recalling Zaman as a cheerful man who loved food and rarely lost his temper, Gul added: “With younger people he behaved like one of them, and with elders he behaved like an elder.” “He had many wishes, but unfortunately all those wishes remained unfulfilled.” Now, Zaman’s death has left his extended family facing an uncertain future. Relatives fear the loss of his income could disrupt the education of his children, who attend school while also memorizing the Holy Qur’an. “He used to say these things and tell me ‘Not to tire yourself too much because you have already done a lot of hard work’,” Ali, his father, said, his voice trailing off. “But such a day came that Allah Almighty once again left us [helpless], and we don’t know what will happen next.” Buried in his hometown, Zaman is remembered through the photographs he shared with family members on WhatsApp and the Eid gifts he had already purchased before his death. “When a person leaves this world, only memories remain,” Gul said.

• PM speaks to Jordan, Bahrain rulers, offers support to restore calm; Dar contacts Omani, Iraqi counterparts• Loud blasts heard in Dubai and Doha; Oman hit for first time; multiple Gulf ports targeted• Emirati, Kuwaiti stock markets closed amid crisis• UAE confirms Pakistani national killed by missile debris ISLAMABAD: Amid Ira­nian counterattacks against US assets in the Gulf, Pakistan reached out to the rulers of Jordan and Bahrain via telephone and urged the need for restraint, de-escalation, and dialogue to preserve regional peace and stability. The Gulf states, which house American assets, came under attack after Iran retaliated to joint US-Israeli strikes, which killed its top leadership, including the supreme leader, and scores of citizens. According to the PM Office, the PM held a telephone conversation with Jordan’s King Abdullah II to discuss the evolving regional situation. The two leaders exchanged views on the serious regional developments following the recent escalation from the Israeli attack on Iran, which was followed by attacks on Jor­dan and other regional countries. The prime minister expre­ssed Pakistan’s deep concern over the situation and emphasised the urgent need for restraint, de-escalation, and dialogue to preserve regional peace and stability. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s solidarity with the Kingdom of Jordan as well as other brotherly countries during this challenging time and reiterated Pakistan’s readiness to support all efforts aimed at restoring stability. Both leaders agreed to maintain close coordination on regional developments. In a statement on X, the PM said he also spoke to Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Kha­lifa and conveyed Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity with the brotherly people of Bahrain during the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. “While praying for the safety and security of our brothers and sisters in Bah­rain, I emphasised restraint, respect for international law, and the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy to restore peace and stability in the region,” he said. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar spoke to Omani and Iraqi counterparts to discuss the regional situation. In a call with Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, the two sides expre­ssed concerns over the ongoing escalation in the region and underscored the urgent need for restraint, dialogue, and de-escalation to preserve peace and stability. Both agr­eed to remain in close contact over the evolving situation. FM Dar also talked to Iraq’s Fuad Hussein and discussed the rapidly evolving regional situation and stressed the need for sustained efforts to contain tensions, promote de-escalation, and advance peace and stability in the region. Gulf in turmoil As retaliatory strikes widened on Sunday they reverberated across Gulf Arab states, with loud blasts heard in Dubai and the Qatari capital Doha and with Oman being hit for the first time. In the UAE, the defence ministry said three people had died and 58 were wounded since Iran’s strikes began the previous day. UAE also confirmed the death of a Pakistani national in Iranian missile strikes targeting the UAE. The victim was killed after being struck by missile debris in Abu Dhabi. Emirati authorities have extended their deepest condolences and sympathy to the bereaved family and relatives of the deceased. As of now, the identity of the victim has not been made public. In Kuwait, one person was killed and 32 wounded since the start of Iran’s retaliation campaign, the health ministry said. Debris from an intercepted drone damaged an Abu Dhabi complex housing the Israeli embassy and several other international missions, causing minor injuries to a woman and her child, Abu Dhabi’s state media office said on Sunday. In Dubai, two people were injured after shrapnel from drones fell over two houses when they were intercepted, a Dubai state media office statement said. Dubai’s international airport, its landmark Burj Al Arab hotel and man-made Palm Jumeirah Island all suffered damage overnight, as did Abu Dhabi’s international airport. Thick plumes of smoke continued to rise from the Jebel Ali port area, where one of the berths caught fire on Sunday because of debris from an intercepted missile. State-owned logistics firm DP World has temporarily paused operations at Jebel Ali Port, according to a notice seen by Reuters. Large plumes of smoke were also seen rising at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Port area, according to a Reuters witness. In neighbouring Oman, which was spared retaliation on Saturday, Duqm commercial port was targeted by two drones, wounding one worker, the state news agency said. Qatar’s interior ministry said on Sunday that it was responding to a limited fire in an industrial zone after debris fell from an intercepted missile. Gulf stock markets fell sharply when trading opened on Sunday, with Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index dropping more than 4pc at the open and closing down 2.2pc. Meanwhile, stock exchanges in Dubai and Abu Dhabi will be closed “until further notice” due to the ongoing conflict in the region, the UAE’s financial regulatory authority announced on Sunday. “The Authority confirms that it will continue to closely monitor developments in the region and assess the situation on an ongoing basis, taking any further measures as necessary,” it said. Kuwait also suspended trading until further notice. Saudi intercepts missile attacks Saudi Arabia on Sunday intercepted Iranian missiles targeting Riyadh’s international airport and the Prince Sultan Airbase, which houses US military personnel, a Gulf source briefed on the matter told AFP. An eyewitness near the airport said they “saw and heard the air defence intercept the missile in the sky”. Residents and AFP correspondents earlier reported hearing explosions in eastern Riyadh. Saudi Arabia houses US bases and personnel, though the bigger such facilities are located in Bahrain and Qatar. Meanwhile, the US officials warned citizens in Bahrain to avoid hotels in the capital Manama, while staff at the US embassy to Jordan were told to avoid the embassy compound, citing risks of attacks. AFP also reported blasts in Bahrain’s capital. Published in Dawn, March 2nd, 2026
