Riyadh: An Indian citizen was tragically killed in a missile attack on the city of Al-Kharj in Saudi Arabia late on Sunday night. A total of 12 people were injured in the attack, some of whom are in critical condition. The attack targeted civilian settlements and industrial areas, causing panic in the area. The Indian Embassy has launched immediate assistance and efforts are underway to contact the families of the dead and injured.
According to the Saudi Arabian Defense Forces, the attack is likely to have been carried out by Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Houthi organization routinely targets oil wells and urban areas in Saudi Arabia. The attack caused extensive damage and an Indian worker at work lost his life. The injured include Indian and Bangladeshi nationals. All the injured have been admitted to nearby hospitals, while special arrangements have been made for the treatment of some.
The Saudi government has launched an investigation into the incident and is trying to determine the root cause of the attack. The Indian embassy has warned Indian nationals in Saudi Arabia to remain vigilant and follow the instructions of the local administration. The attack is likely to further escalate tensions in the Middle East, which could also impact the global oil market.
The incident has also had repercussions in India, with the Ministry of External Affairs appealing to Indians in Saudi Arabia to stay safe. For more information, they have been urged to contact the Indian embassy's helpline. Experts believe that the attack is part of the conflict in the Saudi-Yemen border area.
