Damaged terminal at Kuwait International Airport

DAY 96

IRAN WAR

Iran Shot Drones at Kuwait's Airport on Day 96 of a 'Ceasefire' Which Is a Word That Means 'Stop Shooting' but Apparently Nobody Told Either Side

One person died and five got hurt and the airport got broken on a day grown-ups keep calling 'a fragile ceasefire.' Our 8-year-old correspondent asked her dad what fragile means. He said it means easy to break. She asked why we call it that. He didn't have an answer.
