One killed and dozens injured in Kuwait by Iranian drones
Iranian drones have killed one person and injured at least 63 others at Kuwait's newly reopened international airport, marking a dramatic escalation in the fragile ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. The attack, claimed by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, follows a series of tit-for-tat strikes in the Gulf, including a U.S. drone strike on an Iranian vessel and Iranian missile and drone attacks on Bahrain. Regional leaders, including Emirati diplomat Anwar Gargash, warn that such aggression threatens all Gulf states, not just individual nations. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to target Russian infrastructure with drones, including a major strike near St. Petersburg just hours before the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, a high-profile event meant to project Russia’s global image. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy openly claimed responsibility, framing the attack as a message of resilience. In South Africa, Malawi is launching a repatriation program for its citizens amid escalating xenophobic violence, with migrants reporting being chased like animals. The unrest reflects deep-seated economic frustrations and blame toward migrants for unemployment and crime. In the UK, violent protests erupted in Southampton after a white student, Henry Novak, was falsely accused of racism before being murdered, leading to chants of "I can't breathe" and attacks on police.
