STORY: Kuwait's civil aviation authority released surveillance footage it says is an Iranian drone crashing into its international airport on Wednesday (June 3).

Reuters verified the location by the buildings, roof structure, columns and interior of airport terminal, which matched archive and satellite imagery.

Flights at Kuwait International Airport were suspended after a drone and missile attack damaged airport facilities and diplomatic missions on Wednesday, killing one person and injuring more than 60 others, Kuwaiti authorities and state media said.

The attack caused "severe damage" to the airport's Terminal 1 building, the state news agency reported, citing the General Civil Aviation Authority.

Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said they did not fire at Kuwait's airport and blamed the destruction on U.S. interceptor missiles that failed to hit their targets, according to Iranian state media.

The U.S. military said that was not accurate, and that Iranian drones targeted the airport deliberately.

The attacks on Kuwait and in the strait are the latest to test a shaky ceasefire between the U.S., Israel and Iran, sending oil prices up nearly 2%, as the strait remains largely closed more than three months after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran.
