Iran Strikes Kuwait Airport Terminal, All Flights Suspended
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation announced the activation of an emergency plan in a statement carried by a state outlet, with all flights suspended and diverted to alternative airports pending safety clearance and completion of necessary procedures. The attack was formally attributed to Iran.
No immediate figures were available regarding the number of casualties or the full extent of structural damage.
The airport assault followed hours of aerial bombardment across Kuwait, with the country's military confirming its air defense systems had been actively engaged against incoming missile and drone threats. In a statement posted to X, the General Staff of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces said air defense units were intercepting hostile targets, clarifying that explosions reverberating across the country were the result of those interception operations.
The strike marks a dramatic and dangerous escalation in Gulf security, with a major civilian aviation hub now squarely in the crosshairs of regional hostilities. Authorities have yet to disclose a timeline for resuming normal airport operations, leaving thousands of travelers stranded as Kuwait braces for further developments.
