Envoy meets Indians injured in Kuwait airport attack

Dubai, Jun 8 (PTI) Indian Ambassador to Kuwait Paramita Tripathi on Monday visited Indian nationals injured in an attack on the Gulf nation’s airport last week, authorities said.

The Kuwait International Airport came under attack on June 3 amid escalating hostilities between Iran and the US.

An Indian national was killed and dozens, including 13 Indians, were injured in the attack.

Ambassador Tripathi visited the injured Indian nationals at Jaber Hospital, the Indian mission said in a social media post.

“Of the 13 Indian nationals admitted in various hospitals, all have been discharged except 4 who are still receiving treatment,” the post said.

During the visit, the ambassador enquired about the well-being of those injured and assured them of the embassy’s

full support and assistance.

“The Embassy is maintaining close contact and coordination with the hospital and the families of those injured,” the post added.

The attack was strongly condemned by India, which urged against the targeting of civilian population and civilian infrastructure.

New Delhi also renewed calls for an end to such violence.

With the latest casualty, the total number of Indian fatalities has reached at least 10 since hostilities broke out between Iran and the US on February 28. PTI GRS GRS GRS
