The Kuwait News Agency released shocking security footage today. The video shows a low flying drone hitting Kuwait International Airport. The powerful explosion caused visible damage to Terminal 1.
Identifying the Weapon
The video reveals a weapon matching the Iranian Shahed 136 drone. The drone approached the passenger terminal directly from the east. Investigators also found an MD550 engine inside the wreckage. The Shahed 136 kamikaze drone uses this specific engine.
Iran Denies the Attack
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps strongly denied attacking the civilian airport. Iranian officials blamed the United States military instead. They claimed a faulty American Patriot air defense missile caused the damage.
They alleged the Patriot failed an interception and crashed into the terminal.
Video Evidence Contradicts Claims
Social media analysts reviewed the trajectory of the falling weapon carefully. They noted the weapon does not look like a falling Patriot interceptor.
The visual evidence makes the Iranian explanation very difficult to believe. US officials completely reject these claims as intentional disinformation.
Kuwait Halts Operations
Kuwaiti authorities suspended all airport operations immediately after the attack. The Public Authority for Civil Aviation activated a massive emergency plan. Regional governments strongly condemned this dangerous strike on a civilian hub.
This ongoing conflict severely disrupts air travel across the Gulf.
