London, UK. Exclusive footage obtained by this newsroom shows the moment an Iranian-made drone struck a military hangar at Kuwait International Airport last Tuesday. The attack, which killed three Kuwaiti soldiers and wounded seven others, has prompted an emergency session of the UN Security Council.
The UK Foreign Office has called for an independent investigation, with sources confirming that the drone was a Shahed-136 variant, identical to those used by Russia in Ukraine. The footage, timestamped 0342 local time, reveals the drone's distinctive delta-wing silhouette as it descended through cloud cover before detonating in a fireball that consumed the hangar and adjacent fuel depot. Forensic analysts have identified Iranian manufacturing marks on the wreckage, corroborated by intercepted communications between Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders.
This attack represents a significant escalation: Kuwait has been a crucial logistics hub for US and coalition forces in the region. The UK's ambassador to the UN, Dame Barbara Woodward, stated: 'We have seen the evidence. This is a flagrant violation of international law.
The perpetrators must be held accountable.' The Iranian mission to the UN dismissed the footage as 'a fabrication' and accused the UK of 'warmongering.' However, satellite imagery obtained by our team shows Iranian drone launch sites within 300 kilometres of the Kuwaiti border, active in the hours before the strike.
The Treasury has announced immediate sanctions on three Iranian entities linked to drone production. Meanwhile, in Whitehall, sources confirm that No10 is drafting a formal protest note and considering further military aid to Gulf allies. The footage, which runs 47 seconds, was provided by a Kuwaiti security source who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal.
It has been authenticated by British intelligence analysts. The question now: will the Security Council act, or will this be another chapter in the long history of unaccountable violence?
