Two Bangladeshis were killed and 24 others injured in an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
Of the injured Bangladeshis, 11 are workers and 13 are Umrah pilgrims. They are receiving treatment at different hospitals in Riyadh.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Riyadh disclosed the information on Sunday night, saying a missile struck Terminal 3 of the airport at around 3:15am on Saturday (10 October), leaving passengers from Bangladesh and other countries dead and injured.
According to preliminary information, 12 people were killed and 309 injured in the incident. The victims included two Bangladeshis killed and 24 Bangladeshis injured.
The deceased Bangladeshis were identified as Shahed Ahmed of Bogura and Nasrullah Badarpuri of Cumilla, according to the embassy.
The embassy said three injured Bangladeshis were receiving treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of King Abdullah Hospital. Their conditions were stable.
They were identified as Hafez Hasan of Dhaka, Kazi Nurullah of Brahmanbaria and Omar Faruk, a migrant worker in Saudi Arabia.
Two other Bangladeshis, Saffat Rahman of Naogaon and Daudul Islam of Cumilla, were receiving treatment at National Guard Hospital. Saffat was unconscious, the embassy said.

The embassy has arranged accommodation, food and alternative transport for affected passengers.
Accommodation and meals were arranged for 100 passengers who had arrived from Bangladesh on Saudia flight SV804, Riyadh Air flight RX17 and US-Bangla Airlines flight BS281, or were waiting to travel to destinations across Saudi Arabia on flynas, flyadeal and Fly Riyadh services.
They were accommodated at Marriott and Radisson hotels and in dormitories at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University.
The embassy also arranged special buses to transport 67 Umrah pilgrims who had arrived from Bangladesh wearing ihram garments from Riyadh to Jeddah.
Around 400 Bangladeshi passengers booked on the cancelled Saudia flight SV804 from Riyadh to Dhaka were being transferred to King Fahd International Airport in Dammam for their return to Bangladesh.
The embassy also assisted two Bangladeshi workers travelling from Riyadh to Bahrain via the Al Khobar land border.
