Two UAVs crashed in Oman, killing and wounding several, the state news agency announced on Friday.

The drones crashed in the Sohar province. One landed in an open area, with no casualties reported, while the other struck the Al Awhi Industrial Zone, killing two expatriate workers and wounding several others.

"[The authorities] reaffirm that all resources are being deployed to protect the Sultanate of Oman, citizens and residents," the news agency said.

Iranian drones also struck Dubai's International Financial Center on Friday, Maariv reported.

UAE officials claimed that air defenses successfully shot down the attacking drones, but that shrapnel damaged a prominent building in the financial center.

NATO base hears sirens from Iranian missile

Sirens sounded at NATO's Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey after it was targeted by an Iranian missile, Turkish media reported on Friday.

NATO has not released a statement regarding the incident.

NATO air defenses had previously shot down several other ballistic missiles aimed at Turkey.

Turkey said on Tuesday that a US Patriot air defense system was deployed to its southeast, near a NATO radar base, as part of steps by the alliance to boost air defenses in the face of missile threats from Iran.

It is being deployed to Malatya province, the location of the Kurecik NATO radar base, which provides vital data for the alliance and helped identify two Iranian ballistic missiles heading toward Turkey over the last week.

Saudi Arabia dispatches hostile drones

Saudi Arabia shot down multiple hostile drones approaching the country, the Defense Ministry announced on Friday.

One of the drones' apparent targets was the Embassies District. Other drones were intercepted and destroyed in the Al-Kharj Governorate.

Saudi Arabia has faced numerous drone attacks from Iran since the start of Operation Roaring Lion and has suffered several casualties. According to Arab News in Saudi Arabia, the Foreign Affairs Ministry said that "if Iran presses ahead with its attacks, it would bear the heaviest diplomatic, economic, and strategic consequences, and be ‘the biggest loser.’”
