Debris falling on a residential house! That's terrifying. The people living there must have been so scared. It's a miracle no one was hurt. This shows how important strong air defence systems are.

First thought: are our Indian brothers and sisters in Kuwait safe? Many work at the airport and in residential areas. Hope our embassy is in touch and providing necessary advisories. The targeting of civilian infrastructure like an airport is unacceptable.

While the interception is commendable, the article directly names Iran as the aggressor. I hope there is solid evidence for such a serious claim. Attribution in these conflicts needs to be crystal clear to avoid escalating tensions further.

The EOD teams are the real heroes here. Dealing with live military debris in a residential area takes immense courage and skill. Salute to all the first responders. 🙏 This news is a reminder of how fragile peace can be.

Three missiles and 15 drones in one day! That's a massive coordinated attack. Kuwait's defence was clearly tested. Makes you think about our own preparedness along our western borders. Drones are becoming a major security challenge for everyone.
