CCTV footage from multiple angles has documented an Iranian Shahed-136 drone crashing into a passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday, resulting in significant damage. This incident raises serious questions regarding Iran's claims that it does not target civilian infrastructure amid rising regional tensions. The drone was observed approaching Terminal 1 before impact, and additional footage showed the explosion and smoke that followed. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied responsibility, attributing the damage to a malfunctioning US-made Patriot missile that failed to intercept Iranian projectiles.
