Indian Man Killed, 63 Injured in Iranian Drone Attack at Kuwait Airport

The strike, which Iran said was retaliation for US attacks on Iranian assets, caused extensive damage to Terminal 1 and forced temporary flight suspensions.

  • On Wednesday, an Iranian missile and drone attack on Kuwait International Airport killed one Indian national and injured 63 people, forcing temporary closure in the first deadly strike since the April 8 ceasefire.
  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for targeting the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and Ali Al Salem Air Base, citing retaliation for US attacks on an Iranian tanker and Qeshm Island.
  • The Gulf nation's Ministry of Defence reported 30 ballistic missiles and drones caused "significant material damage to the building," while Health ministry spokesman Abdullah al-Sanad said 63 injured received treatment including severe trauma.
  • US military command Centcom reported it "successfully defeated" attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, with some missiles falling short or breaking apart; air traffic at Kuwait International Airport partially resumed later that day.
  • The Indian foreign ministry condemned the strike, urging all parties to "cease such attacks," as the incident damaged diplomatic missions and tested a ceasefire that had largely held despite sporadic regional strikes.
