Kuwait's government released video footage Thursday showing an Iranian Shahed drone striking the nation's international airport with a large explosion. The attack on Wednesday left at least 63 people injured and damaged critical aviation infrastructure.

A factory in Alabuga, Tatarstan, is producing thousands of Iranian Shahed-model attack drones monthly for use in Russia's war against Ukraine. The facility relies on foreign workers, primarily from Africa, many of whom were recruited under false pretenses for logistics or hospitality roles rather than manufacturing.
