Missile kills Indian and Bangladeshi in central Saudi Arabia
A missile attack on a residential building in central Saudi Arabia has resulted in the deaths of at least two individuals and injuries to 12 others, according to the civil defense agency. The victims were identified as nationals from India and Bangladesh, as reported on X by the agency. The strike occurred at a compound in the al-Kharj governorate. Earlier, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced that it had targeted radar systems in various locations, including al-Kharj, where the fatalities were confirmed. Following the initial US-Israeli strikes on February 28 and the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran has launched strikes against targets in Israel and US military sites in Gulf nations. Meanwhile, the US embassy in Saudi Arabia and the US consulate in the United Arab Emirates faced drone attacks on Tuesday.
