One Indian national was killed and two were injured in a mortar attack on a hospital in Saudi Arabia's Jizan region, an official said on Saturday.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted: "According to our Consul General in Jeddah, one Indian is reported to have died and two were injured in the attack."

According to reports, two Bangladeshi nationals, who were employed in the hospital, were also killed in the attack.
