India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has strongly condemned the attack on Kuwait International Airport that resulted in the death of an Indian national and injuries to several others. In an official statement, the MEA reiterated India's steadfast position that civilian populations and civilian infrastructure must never be targeted in any conflict. The ministry called upon all parties involved in the ongoing hostilities to immediately cease such attacks and adhere to international humanitarian norms.
India's Response and Assistance
The MEA expressed its deepest condolences to the bereaved family of the deceased Indian citizen. It confirmed that the Indian Embassy in Kuwait is providing full assistance to the injured and coordinating with local authorities to ensure their well-being. The ministry also stated that all Indian missions across the region remain on high alert and are closely monitoring the situation in coordination with local governments.
Details of the Attack
According to Kuwaiti authorities, the attack involved Iranian strikes that hit Terminal One of Kuwait International Airport, causing casualties and significant damage to airport infrastructure. Air traffic operations were temporarily suspended as a result of the strikes, but the airport was later partially reopened after security assessments. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of civilians and the security of international travel hubs in the region.
India has consistently called for de-escalation and peaceful resolution of conflicts, emphasizing the protection of innocent lives. The MEA's statement underscores India's commitment to the safety of its citizens abroad and its opposition to any form of violence against civilians.
