Indians among 13 killed in explosion at Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG hub

Indians were among the 13 persons killed in an explosion at Qatar’s main liquefied natural gas processing facility on Sunday, AFP quoted the Gulf country’s Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi as saying.

In a press briefing on Monday, al-Kaabi said that persons of Pakistani origin were also among those killed in the blast at the Barzan local gas supply facility in the Ras Laffan industrial complex, Doha News reported.

The complex is home to the world’s largest liquefied natural gas facility and supplied 19% of global liquefied natural gas exports in 2025.

Sixty persons were injured in the incident, al-Kaabi said. He confirmed that the explosion was “an accident and not sabotage or hostile in nature”.

Without confirming how many Indians were among those killed, the Indian Embassy in Qatar expressed its condolences to the families of the victims.

“We are in constant touch with Qatari authorities and will render all help to the families of those who have lost their lives or have been injured,” it added.
