A fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport was hit by drones on Wednesday, triggering a fire, the country’s civil aviation authority stated, as regional hostilities continue to escalate.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the incident caused limited damage and no casualties.
Agency spokesman Abdullah Al-Rajhi said emergency responders were deployed to contain the fire.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said it had carried out missile and drone strikes targeting military bases hosting US forces in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, as well as locations in Israel.
Kuwait’s National Guard reported intercepting six drones earlier in the day, while the military said its air defence systems were actively responding to incoming threats.
Elsewhere in the region, Bahrain activated air raid sirens, while Jordanian authorities said debris from intercepted projectiles fell near the capital, Amman, without causing damage or injuries. Saudi Arabia also confirmed intercepting at least four drones in its eastern region.
In Israel, the military said its air defences were engaged after warning sirens sounded across parts of the country’s central region following incoming missile fire.
Kuwait International Airport has remained largely shut to commercial traffic and has been targeted multiple times since the conflict began on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran.
Earlier incidents included a drone strike on March 14 that hit the airport’s radar system without causing casualties, as well as previous attacks on fuel tanks and a passenger terminal, which left some people with minor injuries.
The continued attacks have disrupted aviation across the Gulf, with several major airlines suspending or reducing flights due to safety concerns and fuel supply challenges linked to the conflict.
