Meteorologists are expecting a severe cyclone to strike Oman on Saturday, near Salalah, the country’s third-largest city and home to 200,000 people.
This comes after the cyclone named Mekunu wreaked havoc on Yemen, causing mudslides, heavy rains and even sinking two ships.
At least 17 people have been reported missing in Yemen after the powerful storm, with more than 200 families displaced from their homes.
