The Indian Embassy in Kuwait expressed condolences for the death of an Indian national in an attack on a desalination facility. The Embassy is working closely with authorities to provide support. The Kuwaiti government confirmed the death of an Indian worker in the attack by Iran, raising the total Indian casualties in the conflict to at least eight.
Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity and Water denounced the attack on the facility, attributing it to “sinful Iranian aggression.” The strike not only resulted in the death of an Indian employee but also caused significant damage to a service building. Emergency and technical response teams were promptly dispatched to manage the situation and ensure continuity of operations at the facility.
Officials emphasized the priority of maintaining safety and stability in the electricity and water infrastructure. Technical teams are actively working to mitigate risks and ensure uninterrupted essential services. This incident follows a recent tragedy in the UAE where an Indian national lost his life due to a ballistic missile interception over Abu Dhabi.
The ongoing conflict, now in its fifth week, began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran, leading to broader regional tensions. Iranian retaliatory actions have targeted Israel and Gulf countries hosting US military bases, resulting in casualties and damage to critical infrastructure. The death toll among Indian nationals in the Middle East conflict has risen following this latest incident.
