      Huh. How does that square with what the IRGC said earlier about the damage being from a wayward Patriot interceptor, and that they hadn’t targeted the airport? I suppose it could be a false flag, or else one of Iran’s drones was knocked off course. Otherwise, what would Iran gain from attacking the civilian terminal at a Kuwaiti airport?

        I should mention that the airport is also used for military purposes as well, and not entirely a civilian institution.

        The word “confirms” in the post is hardly appropriate. It could even be one of the copycat drones whose existence is already known.

          An engine was also found from the rubble and brought out. Personally I’m also skeptical of the claim, as MES has an annoying habit of declaring their often pessimistic opinion as fact, but I’m not an expert of a matter such as this one. I more posted this as a confirmation that the airport was hit by a drone, and not a Patriot missile. Iran has justified its strikes on airports before, like against the UAE, so the IRGC not claiming credit for this males me lean towards the false flag option.
