A drone strike targeted a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport, sparking a fire but causing no casualties. The Kuwait Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the attack, stating that emergency procedures were immediately activated to contain the blaze and manage the resulting material damage to the facility.
The incident is part of an ongoing wave of Iranian attacks directed at Gulf countries that host United States military bases. Earlier in the day, the Kuwaiti military announced it had successfully intercepted several incoming enemy missiles and drones, explaining that loud explosions heard across the region were the result of these defensive operations.
