Unverified social media combat telemetry captures the dramatic moment a surface-to-air missile interceptor, likely a MIM-104 Patriot PAC-2/PAC-3 variant, reportedly malfunctions over Kuwait. While deployed by defense forces to intercept an inbound Iranian ballistic missile and drone salvo targeting US military sites, the interceptor appears to lose guidance control mid-flight. Regional Iranian sources claim the malfunctioning Patriot missile boomeranged and struck Kuwait International Airport's passenger terminal, though US Central Command (CENTCOM) has strongly denied this, maintaining that the terminal damage was caused directly by an Iranian loitering munition strike.
