Indian killed in Kuwait attack: The Indian Embassy in Kuwait on Wednesday confirmed that an Indian citizen was killed in Iran’s attack on Kuwait International Airport. This attack happened when tension had increased again in the Gulf area. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on targets in Kuwait and Bahrain. Here, America has conducted army operations near Hormuz.

Kuwait’s Health Minister has said that at least 63 people have been injured in this attack. These include airport employees and passengers. According to Kuwaiti officials, Iran’s drone and missile attack has caused damage to airport facilities and diplomatic missions. One person has died among them. Many others have been injured. Flights at Kuwait International Airport have been temporarily stopped.

The Indian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement regarding this entire matter. He has said that we strongly condemn the attack on Kuwait International Airport today. An Indian citizen died in this. Many of our citizens have been injured. Since the war in the Middle East began, we have repeatedly stressed that civilians and civilian infrastructure must not be targeted. We once again appeal to all parties to stop such attacks.

Will the ceasefire be broken?

The Civil Aviation Authority later announced that Kuwait Airways was resuming flights from Terminal 4 after assessing the damage and implementing safety measures. The recent attack has also made the ceasefire in April tense. Oil prices increased by more than 2 percent. There remains uncertainty around Hormuz.

Bahrain’s army said that it intercepted three missiles and several drones. This action took place at a time when Iran claimed that it had targeted the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. Besides, an airbase and helicopters located in another regional country were also attacked.

The US military said that two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait either fell before reaching their targets. Or it broke apart in the air. Other ballistic missiles have also failed to hit their designated targets.

The impact of the increasing war in the Middle East is now directly visible on the global energy market. Especially the situation has become more serious due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This sea route is very important for the world, because about 20 percent of global crude oil and LNG trade takes place from here. Due to its stoppage, the supply of oil in the international market has been affected.

The current situation due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz can be gauged from the fact that in just six days the prices of crude oil have increased by about 12 percent. On 26 February 2026, the price of 1 barrel of oil was 71.06. On March 2, the price increased to $ 77.75 per barrel. On March 3, the price of crude oil reached $79.60 per barrel. The effect of this rise in oil prices is also visible on the Indian rupee, due to which the import cost is increasing.

direct impact on india

India imports about 50 percent of its oil requirement from the Strait of Hormuz. In such a situation, closure of this route can have a big impact on the energy security of the country. According to experts, every $1 increase in the price of crude oil can increase India’s annual import bill by $1.8 to $2 billion. If prices remain high for a long time, inflation may increase and prices of petrol and diesel may also go up.

increasing military conflict

According to the report, in the first four days of the war, more than 1,000 targets were attacked and 555 people died. This has increased uncertainty in the region and nervousness is clearly visible in the energy market.

India’s preparations and options

India currently has about 74 days of crude oil reserves. This statement was given by Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. Although normally there should be 90 days of oil storage, India has 74 days of stock. In this situation, if the war continues for a long time, its impact on India will be less. Apart from this, when the situation worsens, India can also consider the possibility of increasing imports from alternative sources like Russia, so that the supply is maintained. If the situation does not become normal soon, its impact will not be limited to the Middle East only, but will affect the economy of the entire world.
