An Indian citizen was among two persons killed in Saudi Arabia on Sunday when a military projectile struck a residential locality in the city of Al-Kharj, Reuters reported.
The other person killed in the strike was a Bangladeshi national. Twelve people were injured in the attack, Reuters quoted the Saudi Civil Defence as saying.
Earlier in the day, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had targeted radar systems in several locations, including Al-Kharj.
Iran has been striking targets in Israel as well as the United States’ assets in Gulf countries since the conflict broke out in West Asia on February 28.
The conflict began after Israel and the US had launched a joint operation to “degrade the capabilities” of the Iranian government. Tehran retaliated by striking Israel and US military bases in the region, and targeting major cities in other Gulf countries and some ships.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs said on March 3 that some Indian nationals have been killed in the conflict, while others remain missing.
A day earlier, the Directorate General of Shipping had confirmed that three Indian seafarers were killed and one injured amid the conflict while serving on board foreign-flagged vessels.
This is a developing story. It will be updated as more details become available.
