Suspected Iranian drones strike Kuwaiti skyscraper, airport.
A suspected Iranian drone set the 22-storey headquarters of Kuwait's Public Institution for Social Security ablaze in the early hours of Sunday, with footage showing flames engulfing multiple floors of the building in the upscale Al Soor district. Kuwait's state media confirmed the strike caused material damage; guards were evacuated and no injuries were reported inside the building. The attack came as a separate wave of drones also struck fuel tanks at Kuwait International Airport, triggering a large fire. Kuwait's national oil company announced a precautionary cut to crude production.
