Drone downed near Gulf of Oman amid regional escalation

Oman reports intercepting a hostile drone near its Gulf waters as regional tensions spike, with a second drone crashing into the sea nearby.

Oman has disclosed that its air defenses intercepted and downed a hostile drone over the Gulf of Oman while a second unmanned aircraft crashed into the sea nearby. The incident occurred amid a broader escalation across the wider Middle East, including recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent regional attacks on energy infrastructure. Muscat has not yet attributed responsibility but characterizes the drone activity as a direct threat to its territorial security and vital shipping lanes. The country continues to urge de‑escalation and calls on regional and international actors to avoid further militarization of the Gulf region.
