Multiple reports say an explosion occurs at Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial complex, specifically at the Barzan gas facility. The outlets report that Indian nationals are among the dead, with the death toll described as either 12 or 13 Indians, depending on the source. The reports identify the incident location as the Barzan gas facility within the Ras Laffan area and characterize the event as a blast. Both accounts indicate that Indian workers are the primary victims mentioned, though they do not provide further details on the blast’s cause, the exact circumstances, or whether there are additional casualties beyond the Indian nationals cited. The information is presented as an immediate aftermath of the explosion, with the reported figures varying slightly across the two sources. Overall, the shared elements are the occurrence of the blast at Barzan/Ras Laffan in Qatar and the confirmation that Indian nationals among the victims have died, with a total count of 12–13 Indians reported.
