- General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGCA) released video showing the immediate aftermath of a drone strike on Kuwait International Airport that killed an Indian national and injured at least 63 people.
- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied that the attack was carried out by Iranian drones, claiming the damage resulted from a wayward US Patriot missile.
- U.S. military reported that two Iranian missiles fired toward Kuwait either fell short or broke apart, and that several other Iranian ballistic missiles failed to reach their intended targets.
- Kuwait International Airport suspended flight operations after the attack, as the Gulf region experienced renewed US‑Iran strikes amid a fragile ceasefire.
Why it matters: The attack halts flights at a key Gulf hub, endangers civilian travelers, and heightens diplomatic friction as Iran and the US trade accusations, jeopardizing regional stability and trade through the Strait of Hormuz.
