The casualty toll from a missile attack early Saturday in Abu Dhabi has risen to six.

The Abu Dhabi Media Office said an additional Pakistani national was injured by falling debris in the vicinity of Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD) when air defense systems intercepted a ballistic missile.

The attack caused three fires in the area which have been brought under control, it said.

The statement said the fires had broken out due to falling debris from a "successful interception" of a ballistic missile.

It had earlier said that five Indians were injured.
