Two Indians were killed in a drone attack in Sohar city in Oman while 10 Indians were among 11 people injured, the government said on Friday, even as it assured citizens that there is no shortage of fuel supplies in India despite rising tensions in West Asia.

Citing a security source, Al Jazeera reported that the drone crashed in the al-Awahi industrial area, resulting in the deaths of two foreign workers and injuries to several others.

At a government briefing, Additional Secretary in the Gulf Division at the Ministry of External Affairs, Aseem Mahajan, confirmed that the incident took place in Sohar, a city near Muscat.

"We deeply regret to share that two Indian nationals lost their lives in the attack. Out of the 11 people injured, 10 are Indians. Five have already been discharged after treatment while the remaining five are undergoing treatment in hospitals. None of the injuries are serious," he said.

Indian authorities are in close touch with local officials and the company involved to assist those injured. The Indian mission is also helping with the repatriation of the mortal remains of the victims.
