A residential building in northern Oman came under attack on Monday, leaving two expatriates injured and causing material damage, state media reported.
The strike hit a building used to house company employees in the Tebat area of the State of Bukha. The two injured individuals sustained moderate wounds, a security source indicated, while details around their condition remain limited.
Four vehicles were damaged in the blast, and windows of a nearby house were shattered, adding to the scale of the incident.
Authorities have moved in to assess the situation, launching an investigation to establish how the attack unfolded and who may be responsible.
Officials have yet to disclose further findings or identify the source behind the strike, the report said.
The incident comes against a backdrop of escalating regional strain after the U.S. Navy moved to guide stranded vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, prompting renewed Iranian attacks.
Earlier, the United Arab Emirates reported detecting four cruise missiles launched from Iran, with three intercepted over its waters and one falling into the sea.
That episode was followed by a drone strike that triggered a major fire at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, according to local authorities.
