Kuwait's General Directorate of Civil Aviation released surveillance footage showing the moment an Iranian drone struck Terminal 1 at Kuwait International Airport on June 3, 2026. The attack, described by authorities as a "brutal Iranian aggression," resulted in the death of one Indian national and injuries to at least 63 others. The footage captures the initial moments of the strike, including the collapse of part of the terminal's roof after the projectile hit the building. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied responsibility for the attack, instead blaming a malfunctioning US-made Patriot missile for the damage. According to the IRGC, the missile fell after failing to intercept Iranian missiles, though this explanation has been met with skepticism. Kuwait's military condemned the strike as an act of "criminal Iranian aggression," emphasizing the severe impact on the country's aviation infrastructure. The attack occurred amid a volatile regional conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. It marked another escalation in the ongoing tensions, which have tested a fragile ceasefire established on April 8. The ceasefire, which paused over a month of war following the US-Israeli bombing of Iran, has largely held despite sporadic exchanges of fire. The Kuwaiti strike, however, intensified concerns about the stability of the truce. India's foreign ministry confirmed that one of its nationals was killed in the attack, with several others injured. The Indian Embassy in Kuwait stated it was "closely coordinating" with Kuwaiti authorities to provide support to the victim's family and the injured.#iran_islamic_revolutionary_guard_corps #kuwait_international_airport #kuwait_general_directorate_of_civil_aircraft #iranian_drone_attack #kuwait_military
