Kuwait has issued a strong condemnation of Iranian attacks that targeted the Kuwait International Airport. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement denouncing the aggression, which involved ballistic missiles and drones. The attacks resulted in the death of one individual, injuries to several others, and significant damage to vital facilities, including diplomatic missions.

Details of the Attack

The spokesperson for Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense, Brigadier General Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, confirmed that the passenger building (T1) at the airport was targeted by hostile drones. The attack caused substantial material damage and injured several individuals who have since received medical care. The armed forces are on high alert, coordinating with relevant authorities to ensure the country’s security and stability.

U.S. Response

The Iranian hostilities come in the wake of ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that American forces engaged in self-defense strikes against Iranian positions on Qeshm Island after intercepting multiple Iranian missiles and drones aimed at regional neighbors, including Kuwait and Bahrain. CENTCOM confirmed that no U.S. personnel were harmed during these operations.

In a statement, CENTCOM highlighted the successful defense against an additional wave of Iranian drones targeting U.S. forces in Kuwait, ensuring no harm to American personnel or assets. The U.S. remains vigilant against further Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.
