The Indian Embassy in Doha announced that the mortal remains of four out of 12 Indian nationals who died in the Ras Laffan gas explosion are being repatriated to India. The embassy is coordinating with families and authorities, while also assisting injured Indians.
Twelve Indian nationals were among 13 people killed in an explosion at Qatar's Barzan gas facility in Ras Laffan Industrial City. Sixty-six people were injured, while authorities launched an investigation into the technical malfunction that caused the blast.
An explosion ripped through Qatar’s Ras Laffan natural gas export terminal Sunday night as workers attempted to restart operations halted during the Iran war. The blast at the Barzan facility triggered a massive fire, injuring at least 54 people and leaving 18 missing.
