KUWAIT CITY: Seven Indians were among 15 oil workers killed today in a head-on collision between two buses in southern Kuwait, officials said.
Seven of those killed were Indian nationals, five were Egyptians and the other three from Pakistan, said Mohammed al-Basri of the state-owned Kuwait Oil Company (KOC).
Two Indian citizens — one in critical condition — and a Kuwaiti were also injured in the accident, Basri said.
Fire department spokesman Colonel Khalil al-Amir said the victims were employees of Burgan Drilling, a private subcontractor for KOC. (AGENCIES)
