Indian Man Killed In Missile Strike On Saudi Airport, 2 Sons In Hospital

An Indian man, who was injured in the missile attack on Saturday at the airport in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, died on Sunday. Mohammad Yousuf Ali was a resident of Hyderabad and was travelling to Medina for Umrah when the incident occurred, according to AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisii.

He said Ali's wife and children were among those injured.

Ali's death has taken the death count to 13. Over 300 people were injured. A Saudi-led coalition has blamed Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighbouring Yemen for the onslaught.

The Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia has confirmed the Indian national's death. It said it is in touch with the family of the victim and will provide it with support in sending the body home.

"Update regarding the Riyadh Airport attack on October 10. It is learnt that one Indian national injured in the Riyadh attack has unfortunately lost his life today. We convey our heartfelt condolences to the family of the dead. We are in touch with the family and will provide all support for ensuring the early repatriation of remains," the Indian Embassy wrote on X.
