A fresh attack on Riyadh airport sparked a fire at Terminal 4 on Sunday, a day after a strike killed 12 people and injured more than 300. One Indian national has since died, while 10 others remain injured, the Indian Embassy said.
On October 10, a fresh attack at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport caused a fire at Terminal 4, following a deadly strike the previous day that killed 12 people and injured over 300. According to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, one Indian national who was injured in Saturday's attack has since died, while 10 other Indians remain injured.
Jaishankar expressed deep sorrow over the loss of life and conveyed his condolences to the bereaved family, assuring that the Indian Embassy would provide all possible assistance.
The Saudi-led coalition attributed the attack to Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Indian Embassy in Riyadh confirmed the death of the Indian national, stating that he had succumbed to injuries sustained in the October 10 attack. They are in contact with the family and will assist with the repatriation of the deceased's remains.
