Drone Strike at Kuwait Airport Claims Indian National's Life An Indian national was killed in a drone attack targeting Kuwait International Airport, according to officials. The incident occurred on March 25, 2026, when Iranian strikes hit Terminal One, causing casualties and damaging airport facilities. The Embassy of India in Kuwait expressed deep condolences for the loss, stating it was "closely coordinating" with Kuwaiti authorities to support the victim's family and injured individuals. Kuwait suspended air traffic following the attack, with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation spokesperson, Abdullah Al-Rajhi, confirming the decision. Flights were diverted to nearby airports until further notice. The Ministry of Health’s spokesperson, Dr. Abdullah Al-Sund, reported that 63 injured individuals had been treated across seven hospitals. Among them, seven required urgent major surgeries, while others underwent minor procedures. The injured included civilians, airport workers, and travelers. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the attack, framing it as retaliation for U.S. strikes on an Iranian oil tanker and an island. In a statement on their Telegram channel, the Guards stated they had targeted the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, which hosts helicopters, as well as the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. The attack was described as a response to "aggression" by the United States. The incident follows a previous attack on March 30, 2026, when Iranian strikes on a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait resulted in the death of another Indian national. This marks the second such fatality linked to Iranian strikes in the region.#iranian_revolutionary_guards #kuwait_international_airport #indian_embassy_kuwait #director_general_civil_aviation_kuwait #ali_al_salem_air_base
