Forty-six people were killed when a bus flipped over in the province of Dhofar in southern Oman today, the state's ONA news agency reported.

Eight people were seriously wounded, ONA said.

The bus flipped over with 54 people on board Friday afternoon in the mountainous region of Dhofar as it headed toward Salalah, about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) south from Muscat, the agency said.

"Four Omanis counted among the dead. The rest were other nationalities," it added.
