An explosion at a gas supply facility in Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City kills 13 people, including Indians, and injures 66 others, according to reports citing Qatar authorities and the Indian government. Qatar’s Minister and QatarEnergy CEO Saif Al-Kaabi says the incident involved a fire caused by the blast at the Barzan local gas supply facility on Sunday evening, June 21, 2026. Multiple outlets report that the injured number is 66.
Indian media reports that the blast occurs as workers restart operations that had been halted after an Iranian attack in March. The Indian Embassy in Doha says it is in constant contact with Qatari authorities and will provide assistance to families of those who died and people injured.
Authorities continue investigations into the cause and circumstances of the explosion. The shared accounts across outlets emphasize the casualty figures, the location within Ras Laffan, the Barzan facility, and the ongoing coordination between Qatari officials and the Indian Embassy.
