Bangladeshi Worker Killed in UAE During Iranian Strikes

A Bangladeshi national has been killed in the United Arab Emirates following an attack attributed to Iran, according to the UAE Ministry of Defense. The authorities have not immediately disclosed the identity of the victim.

Multiple sources identified the deceased as Saleh Ahmed, a resident of Gaziteka, Borolekha Upazila, Moulvibazar District. He worked in the Ajman province of the UAE as a delivery worker.

According to eyewitnesses, Saleh Ahmed had gone out for urgent delivery work after Iftar on Saturday evening when a sudden, bright object appeared in the sky, followed by a massive explosion. He was found critically injured at the scene with severe trauma to multiple parts of his body.

Civil defense and police units quickly arrived, secured the area, and transported him to a hospital. His death was informally confirmed on Sunday morning, although the UAE government has not yet made an official announcement.

Saleh Ahmed had been working abroad for many years to support his family, which includes his mother, wife, three sons, and a daughter. He was the sole breadwinner.

His cousin, Mahbub Alam Chowdhury, stated that Saleh Ahmed died on Saturday evening but the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear. He urged authorities to ensure the prompt repatriation of his body to Bangladesh.
