Kuwait Mourns 11-Year-Old Iranian Girl Killed in Iran Drone Attack

Eleven-year-old Elena Abdullah Hussein, of Iranian origin, was killed in Kuwait by debris from a drone launched by Iran. The young girl was sleeping in her room when she was hit, while her younger sister sustained minor injuries. Her devastated father stated that his daughter had called him shortly before her death, as if saying goodbye. The family had taken shelter in the basement due to the bombings, but returned to their apartment the previous night. Elena's death adds to the tragic toll of 13 deaths since the start of the conflict in the region, including six American soldiers and two civilians. The Iranian community in Kuwait is in mourning for the loss of the young student.
