A Bangladeshi expatriate named Mosharraf Hossain, aged 40, from Kirtankhola village in Sakhipur upazila of Tangail, was killed in a missile attack in Saudi Arabia’s Al Kharj city on Sunday evening. The missile strike, reportedly launched by Iran, hit the camp of Al-Towaik Baladiya Company just before iftar. Mosharraf, who worked there as a cleaner, died on the spot. His cousin Zakir Hossain, also a Saudi expatriate, confirmed the incident.

Mosharraf had been working in Saudi Arabia for eight years to support his family. He left behind his wife, Kabari Akter, and two sons—Mahim, a ninth-grade student, and Mihan, a first-grader. The family last spoke with him by phone before the attack. Local MP Advocate Ahmed Azam Khan expressed condolences via video conference, promising support for the bereaved family. Upazila Nirbahi Officer Abdullah Al Rony also visited the family home and said efforts were underway with the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare to repatriate the body.

Officials assured that the affected family would receive necessary assistance once the repatriation process is completed.
