An Indian national was killed in an attack on Kuwait International Airport, the Indian Embassy in Kuwait said in a post on X on Wednesday. The attack wounded at least 63 other people, according to the health ministry.

"63 injured individuals were received and distributed among hospitals... This includes serious injuries... including head wounds, cerebral haemorrhages, amputations and injuries resulting from explosions," health ministry spokesperson Abdullah al-Sanad said, adding that 25 ambulances were dispatched to the airport.

The Indian Embassy in Kuwait expressed its condolences in a post on X. It stated that the mission is "closely coordinating" with Kuwaiti authorities to render all possible support and assistance to the bereaved family and those who were injured in the attack.

After the strikes hit Terminal One and caused casualties and damage to airport facilities, Kuwait suspended its air traffic on Wednesday, Directorate General of Civil Aviation spokesperson Abdullah Al-Rajhi said.
