Two Bangladeshi nationals are fighting for their lives in hospital after being critically injured during a drone attack at Kuwait International Airport.

The incident, which occurred on the morning of Wednesday, 3 June 2026, left a total of five Bangladeshi expatriates wounded.

According to official reports from the Bangladesh Embassy in Kuwait, while two victims remain in a critical state, one other individual is currently under medical observation.

Major General Syed Tareq Hussain, the Bangladeshi Ambassador to Kuwait, visited the injured workers at Farwaniya Hospital and Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Hospital on June 3 and 4.

During his visit, the Ambassador checked on their physical condition and conveyed messages of sympathy and support from the Bangladeshi government.

In a show of solidarity, Ambassador Hussain and four embassy staff members visited the Central Blood Bank in Jabriya to donate blood for those undergoing treatment.

The embassy has issued an urgent appeal to the Bangladeshi expatriate community in Kuwait, calling for volunteers to come forward and donate blood.

This humanitarian effort aims to bolster the medical response for the victims during this critical period. The embassy urged those willing to help to contact the Kuwait Central Blood Bank directly to participate in this life-saving initiative.
