Kuwait confirms Iranian drone hit airport, one Indian national killed
Iranian drones struck and heavily damaged a passenger terminal at Kuwait's main airport on Wednesday, killing one person and injuring several others.The building had opened only Monday after a monthslong closure because of the war.
This is the latest strike in back-and-forth attacks between Iran and the US, as peace talks between Washington and Tehran appear to have stalled.Kuwait briefly closed the airfield following the attack.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it didn't fire at the airport. Instead, it claimed that the terminal was damaged by a US-made interceptor that failed to hit Iranian missiles. Tehran did not provide any proof to support this claim.
US Central Command called the claim false and said on X that Iranian drones made a "deliberate, calculated and unjustified attack" on the airport.
Meanwhile, surveillance footage released by Kuwait's Directorate General of Civil Aviation showed the moment of impact from several angles.
India condemns attack on civilians
The Indian Embassy in Kuwait said that one person killed was an Indian national and that several other Indians were injured in the ordeal.
"We condemn the attack on the Kuwait International Airport today in which an Indian national has died and several of our nationals are injured. Since the onset of the conflict in West Asia, we have strongly urged that civilian population and civilian infrastructure must not be targeted," India's foreign ministry said in a statement.
