The footage disputes Tehran’s previous claim that the damage was likely caused by a US air-defense missile that veered off course

Kuwait’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation has released a video it says shows the moment an alleged Iranian drone hit Terminal 1 at Kuwait International Airport on June 3.

The agency described the incident as a “brutal Iranian drone attack,” saying it caused loss of life, serious injuries, and extensive material damage.

Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry previously said at least one person had been killed when a projectile struck the terminal and other “vital facilities,” including diplomatic missions. Several others were injured, the ministry added, without giving a number.

Tehran has denied deliberately targeting the passenger terminal. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed earlier that the damage was likely caused by a US Patriot missile launched to defend an American base in Kuwait from Iranian strikes.
