The incident involving falling debris took place at two locations in the ICAD 2 area following the successful interception of a drone by air defences, the Abu Dhabi media office said.
Pakistani and Nepalese nationals were among those injured in the incident.

The fighting in the Middle East, triggered by the US-Israel strikes on Iran that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and intensified by Tehran's retaliation, entered the sixth day on Thursday.
Tehran as well as US facilities continued to be targeted by rival sides with drones and missiles, with the most prominent latest attack attempts being intercepted drones over Doha in Qatar and the strike on Iranian naval ship Iris Dena off the Sri Lankan coast on Wednesday, an assault that killed dozens.
The attacks on UAE's Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the ongoing conflict have emerged as the some of the most noticeable developments given the reputation of the cities as being safe havens and immune to whatever is happening in the rest of the Middle East.
