The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that it has received information from relevant authorities in the United Arab Emirates that two Ghanaians sustained injuries following a drone incident in the vicinity of Dubai International Airport earlier today, March 11, 2026.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Ministry said Government strongly condemns any act that endangers civilian lives and critical infrastructure.
“Such incidents pose serious risks to public safety and underscore the importance of ensuring the protection of civilians and vital international transport hubs,” the statement noted.
Ghana’s Ambassador in the United Arab Emirates has led a delegation of the Embassy in Abu Dhabi and Consulate in Dubai to visit the two injured Ghanaians in hospital. According to the Ministry, their injuries are not critical and full recovery is expected soon.
Government urged calm among the public as it continues to extend consular assistance and collaborate closely with host authorities.
The Ministry said it is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to engage with the appropriate authorities as required.
“The Government of Ghana expresses its concern over the incident and conveys its thoughts to the injured individuals and their families,” the Ministry added.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated Government’s commitment to the protection and welfare of Ghanaian citizens abroad. The Government says it is actively supporting ongoing consultations within the UN to pass a resolution seeking a cessation of hostilities.
The Ministry stressed it is offering the necessary leadership and coordination with Ghana’s diplomatic Missions and will provide updates on the matter as and when the need arises.
“Government wishes to use this opportunity to reiterate its call for our Nationals in the Gulf region to always exercise heightened vigilance and comply with directives from Ghanaian Embassies and local authorities,” the statement said.
