Twelve Indian nationals were among the 13 workers killed in an explosion at Qatar's Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex, the Indian Embassy confirmed on Tuesday, after a blast tore through the facility during the restart of operations that had been suspended following an Iranian missile attack earlier this year.
The blast occurred on Sunday evening at the Barzan gas supply facility, part of the sprawling Ras Laffan Industrial City. Qatar's Energy Minister and QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi said all those killed were from India and Pakistan.

"Qatari authorities have also confirmed that all those who got injured in the incident are in stable condition and are receiving appropriate medical treatment. Our Embassy is working in close contact with the Qatari authorities to extend all possible help to the Indian nationals and their families affected by this incident, including ensuring that mortal remains of the deceased are sent to India at the earliest," the Indian Embassy said in a post on social media platform X.
