The Beijing government says that in the Islamic Republic’s attack on a Chinese company building in Kuwait, no Chinese citizen was killed. Mao Ning also urged Kuwait to take effective measures to protect and ensure the security of Chinese citizens and Chinese companies based in this country.

Earlier, Kuwait had announced that an Iranian missile attack on Thursday morning targeted a building belonging to a Chinese company and resulted in the death of a worker from that company.

The Chinese embassy in Kuwait also said that the deceased person held Nepalese nationality and worked as a driver for the Chinese company based in northern Kuwait.
