Two people died after security forces intercepted a drone in northern Oman, state media said on Friday, without giving further details.
Both victims in the incident at Al Awahi industrial area were expatriates, the Oman News Agency said, adding that other people were injured.
The agency stated via its "X" platform: "The relevant authorities commend the awareness and cooperation of citizens and residents in refraining from circulating images and rumors and in obtaining information from official sources. They affirm to everyone that all efforts are being dedicated to protecting the Sultanate of Oman and its people."
Another drone crashed in an open area in the same region without causing any casualties.
