Drone attack at Kuwait airport injures Bangladeshi worker, embassy says

The Bangladeshi embassy is closely monitoring the injured worker’s condition, a diplomatic source confirms

A Bangladeshi worker has been injured in a drone attack at Kuwait International Airport amid escalating tensions linked to the Iran conflict.

The incident occurred on Saturday, and the expatriate was admitted to a local hospital.

His name has not been immediately released, and the embassy is still confirming his identity.

Counsellor Mohammad Moniruzzaman of the Bangladesh embassy in Kuwait told bdnews24.com, “Based on the information received so far, one Bangladeshi worker has been injured in the attack. The embassy is maintaining regular contact to monitor his condition.”

Citing airport authorities, Kuwait Times and local media reported that emergency services rushed to the scene after the drone strike and took the injured to nearby hospitals.

The attack occurred as Iran launched a series of retaliatory strikes against US-linked targets across the Gulf following joint US-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian territory earlier in the morning.

The Bangladesh Embassy has advised all expatriates in Kuwait to remain vigilant, stay indoors where possible, and avoid the vicinity of airports or military installations.
