Three Indians were killed and six others were critical after a fire engulfed their house in Kuwait, a report said on Tuesday.

Two Indian men and a woman were sleeping when the fire engulfed the house on Monday. The woman succumbed to injuries on way to the hospital.

Six other Indian men were rescued and were still in a critical condition.

The house had 11 rooms with around eight bachelors in each room but when the fire broke, only nine persons were at home.

Extreme heat conditions fuelled many fires in Kuwait City on Monday, keeping firefighters on their toes.
