A drone hit an airport in Kuwait
Several dozen hours after the attack, the Kuwaiti news agency KUNA presented recordings of the moment when an Iranian drone hits the airport building. In the 69-second recording, we first see an approaching drone, then it hits the roof of one of the buildings and at the same moment a ball of fire flashes over the object and turns into a column of black smoke.
In the following seconds of the recording, the same attack can be seen from other cameras. One of the shots shows the interior of the building at the moment of impact and people running away in panic. The recording was released by the Kuwait Civil Aviation Directorate.
Kuwait's defense ministry spokesman, Colonel Saud Abdulaziz al-Atwan, called the attack “criminal Iranian aggression,” the Emirati daily Khaleej Times reported.
The Iranian embassy in Poland issued a statement emphasizing that “unfounded attribution of this incident to Iran is unacceptable.”
Donald Trump downplays the attack on Kuwait
US President Donald Trump downplayed the Iranian attack on Kuwait, assessing it not to be a “big deal”, acknowledging that the ceasefire was still in force. Trump also said that negotiations with Tehran are going very well and could be concluded by the weekend.
Trump commented on the Iranian attack on a Kuwaiti airport — which left at least one person dead — while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office. The president suggested that striking Iran was a response to US actions.
— We hit them hard the night before (…) so there's a reason for some things, and there's usually a reason that sometimes makes sense. But they did something, it wasn't a big deal,” Trump said. – We quickly nipped it in the bud (…) But some would say that they were slightly provoked because we took decisive action for a different reason, so they reciprocated – he added.
