Iran struck Kuwait International Airport terminal 1 with a drone on Sunday. Several airport employees suffered minor injuries. There haven’t yet been confirmed passenger injuries. Kuwaiti airspace has been closed.
This is part of Iran’s retaliation for the U.S.-Israel strike on the country, with Iran responding using missiles and drones across the Gulf region.

By the way this appears to be the Fairmont Palm Hotel in Dubai, which was struck by Iran as well.

Iran had said any retaliation would be against U.S. military assets. These are civilian targets, and a drone strike is almost always intentional. Kuwait hosts the U.S. Ali Al-Salem Air Base, and that was targeted as well. This is not an incidental hit. Ali Al Salem Air Base is about 30 miles away from KWI airport.
