MUSCAT, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Oman's Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that no party has claimed responsibility for the recent attacks targeting the sultanate.
In a statement, the ministry denounced what it called "cowardly" attacks and the broader escalation throughout the region.
Oman reaffirmed its long-standing policy of active neutrality, emphasizing its commitment to promoting peace and supporting efforts to achieve security and stability in the region.
The ministry also reiterated its call for an end to the ongoing conflict and a return to dialogue and diplomacy.
Earlier this month, Oman News Agency reported that two people were killed after drones came down in the Wilayat of Sohar, a coastal city some 200 km northwest of the capital.
Citing a security source, the agency reported on Saturday that "Salalah Port was targeted by two drones, resulting in moderate injuries to an expatriate worker at the port, and causing limited damage to one of the cranes at the facility," referring to the port in the country's southwest.
On March 20, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said in a statement that attacks targeting Türkiye and Oman were not carried out by Iran or its allied forces.
The statement came amid heightened regional tensions, with continued exchanges of attacks involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. ■
