On June 3, three overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) were injured in a drone attack at Kuwait International Airport, which led to significant damage and the temporary closure of the airfield. Following treatment, the workers have returned home to recover. Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac confirmed that there were no fatalities among Filipinos, stating that one OFW sustained injuries requiring stitches while another suffered from smoke inhalation. The attack, attributed to Iranian drones, resulted in the death of one Indian national and injuries to 63 others, prompting Kuwait's Defense Ministry to destroy numerous missiles and drones. The incident underscores the escalating risks faced by foreign workers in the Middle East amidst ongoing regional tensions. As of late May, over 10,000 Filipinos have been repatriated from the Middle East due to the conflict, which has claimed the lives of two Filipinos since it began.
