Today, a drone attack on Kuwait International Airport resulted in minor injuries to staff and limited damage to the terminal building (T1). The Kuwaiti Civil Aviation announced that the incident led to the suspension of all flights in and out of the airport due to security concerns. This incident comes amid ongoing Iranian missile strikes in the region, which have already disrupted air traffic, prompting the Kuwaiti news agency to report on the impact of these tensions on aviation services.

The situation escalated as Iranian forces continued to target US bases in the area, raising regional alarm. Earlier reports indicated that missiles were intercepted in Kuwaiti airspace, underscoring the escalating military confrontations in the region. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior confirmed that rockets had been intercepted in northern parts of the country without causing any casualties, but the heightened threat prompted the US Embassy in Kuwait to advise its personnel to seek shelter.

In response to the drone attack, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement affirming Kuwait’s right to self-defense in accordance with the UN Charter, condemning the incident as a violation of its sovereignty, airspace, and international law. This situation emphasizes the growing tensions in the region, highlighting Kuwait's geopolitical challenges amidst military actions involving Iran and the USA, and the importance of defending national security while navigating complex international relationships.
