An Indian national was killed in an Iranian drone attack targeting Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday, according to the Embassy of India in Kuwait. The strike hit Terminal One, causing casualties, injuries and damage to airport infrastructure, prompting Kuwaiti authorities to suspend air traffic and divert flights. Health officials reported 63 injured people, including civilians, airport workers and travellers, with several requiring urgent surgery. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility, describing the attack as retaliation for alleged US actions against Iranian assets. The Indian mission expressed condolences and said it is coordinating with Kuwaiti authorities to support the victim’s family and those affected.
