An Indian national was killed in an Iranian attack on Kuwait International Airport, sparking widespread condemnation and a significant escalation in regional tensions.
The Indian Embassy in Kuwait expressed its deepest condolences to the bereaved family and is coordinating with Kuwaiti authorities to provide necessary assistance.
Kuwaiti authorities confirmed that one person was killed in the attack, which targeted civilian facilities, including the airport and diplomatic missions.
The attack marks the first reported Indian fatality linked to the latest escalation in the conflict involving Iran, the US, and Israel.
Kuwait's foreign ministry condemned the attack and said Iranian missiles and drones caused severe damage to Terminal 1 of the airport, injured several people, and disrupted air traffic operations.
The US military said it intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and carried out strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island in response to the attacks.
The latest developments underscore the widening regional impact of the conflict, with Gulf states increasingly finding themselves drawn into the confrontation.
