Bangladesh's foreign ministry said Iranian missiles had killed two Bangladeshi nationals and wounded several others across the Gulf.
Bangladeshi officials confirmed that Saleh Ahmed, a truck driver from Sylhet in north-east Bangladesh, was killed in the United Arab Emirates, after being struck by debris from an Iranian drone that fell onto civilian infrastructure.
In Bahrain, Bangladeshi embassy officials confirmed that SM Tareq from the island of Sandwip died in the Salman Industrial Area after debris from an intercepted missile struck the area.
Two other Bangladeshis were wounded in the same incident and treated at a local hospital, embassy officials said.
In Kuwait, four Bangladeshi nationals sustained injuries following a drone attack near the country’s main airport. The Bangladeshi foreign ministry said all were receiving medical care and reported to be in a stable condition.
The ministry added that it plans to repatriate the bodies of those killed once commercial flights resume.
