A Bangladeshi expatriate has been killed in a Houthi attack on an Aramco facility in Al-Khurais in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the death in a statement on Monday, saying Md Sajib Hossain was killed on Sunday by a “missile or drone” launched by the Houthis.

He hailed from Cumilla, the ministry said, expressing “deep shock and sorrow” over his death and condemned the attack.
