TDIran has launched another drone strikes on Kuwait International Airport, causing material damage and forcing emergency protocols.
The attack comes barely four days after the initial attack a fortnight ago.
Flights have been disrupted, but no casualties have been confirmed so far.
Key Details

Regional Impact

Wider Conflict Context

- Analysts warn the region is on the brink of all-out war, with drone and missile warfare escalating rapidly.
What This Means
