Kuwait’s international airport was targeted by Iranian drones and missiles during the early morning hours on Wednesday, resulting in casualties and prompting officials to redirect air traffic, according to Kuwait’s state news agency.
The assault inflicted “severe damage” on the airport’s T1 building, the news agency reported, quoting the General Civil Aviation Authority.
Earlier, the U.S. military reported that two Iranian missiles aimed at Kuwait either fell short of their target or disintegrated during flight, while three missiles directed at Bahrain were stopped by American and Bahraini defense forces.
According to U.S. Central Command, Iran fired ballistic missiles at neighboring countries in the region, but none successfully reached their intended targets.
American forces retaliated by launching strikes against Qeshm Island following Iran’s attempted attacks and successfully neutralized several Iranian ballistic missiles and drones.
