Kuwait officials released footage that they say shows Iranian drones striking Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday (3 June).

Video shows an Iranian drone hitting the roof of the terminal, which erupts in flames.

Kuwaiti authorities and state media said one person was killed and more than 60 others were injured.

The attack caused "severe damage" to the 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 the airport, blaming the destruction on US interceptor missiles that failed to hit their targets, according to Iranian state media.

US military officials said that was not accurate and that Iranian drones targeted the airport deliberately.
