A Bangladeshi national has been killed in a missile strike on a residential building in Saudi Arabia’s Al-Kharj Governorate, as regional tensions continue to escalate amid the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel. Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense Agency confirmed in a statement posted on social media platform X that two people were killed and 12 others injured when a missile struck a residential compound in the central Saudi city. The missile strike comes as hostilities in the Middle East intensify following the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28 and the subsequent escalation across the region. Earlier this week, drone attacks targeted the US embassy in Saudi Arabia and the US consulate in the United Arab Emirates, according to reports. The Al-Kharj strike is among the latest incidents affecting civilian areas as the broader confrontation between Iran and its adversaries continues to unfold across the region.
