A Houthi missile attack on a Saudi Aramco oilfield in the Red Sea region killed an Indian national, prompting New Delhi to condemn the strike.
A Houthi missile strike targeted a Saudi Aramco oilfield in the Red Sea area, causing significant damage to the facility. The attack is part of a series of recent assaults by Yemen's Houthi rebels on commercial infrastructure in the region.
Among the casualties, an Indian national working at the oilfield was confirmed dead. Local authorities identified the victim as a citizen employed by a subcontractor supporting the oilfield's operations.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement condemning the attack, describing it as a violation of international norms and a threat to the safety of Indian workers abroad. New Delhi called for immediate accountability and urged the parties involved to ensure the protection of civilian personnel.
India is reviewing consular support for its nationals in conflict‑prone zones and has pledged to cooperate with Saudi authorities in the investigation. The incident underscores the broader risks that the Houthi campaign poses to global energy supplies and foreign workers in the Middle East.
