The deceased was among the 11 Indian nationals who were injured in the attack that took the lives of 13 people and injured over 300.
The attack on Saturday was the latest of several in the past week targeting the airport. The other deceased included four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshi nationals, a Palestinian, a US citizen, an Egyptian, a Jordanian, a Syrian and a Sudanese.
The attack was followed by a fresh strike on Sunday in which a projectile hit a passenger terminal of the airport, a Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen said. There were no immediate details about the latest strike, which hit the same complex housing terminals 3 and 4 for domestic flights.
