Kuwaiti officials reported Wednesday that an Iranian drone strike targeted fuel storage facilities at Kuwait International Airport, igniting a large fire without causing any injuries.
According to Kuwait’s state news agency KUNA, the attack represents another in a series of strikes against the airport and its fuel infrastructure amid escalating tensions in the region.
The incident occurs as conflicts involving the United States, Israel, and Iran continue to expand, with Tehran launching attacks against Israel and Gulf nations that provide hosting facilities for American military operations.
A civil aviation authority spokesperson told the news agency that the Wednesday assault resulted in extensive damage to fuel tanks operated by the Kuwait Aviation Fuelling Company at the international airport.
