Kuwaiti authorities reported material damage to Kuwait International Airport following a drone attack, as Iran continues its retaliatory strikes against Gulf states in response to the US-Israeli military campaign against the Islamic Republic.
"Civil aviation announces that Kuwait International Airport was targeted by several drones, causing material damage only," authorities said in an official statement, adding that no casualties were reported.
The attack on Kuwait's main airport marks a significant escalation, bringing the conflict directly to civilian infrastructure in the Gulf. Iran has been launching retaliatory strikes across the region since the joint US-Israeli offensive, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities on February 28.
Kuwait joins a growing list of Gulf states absorbing Iranian strikes, alongside Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, as Tehran seeks to widen the theater of conflict and maximize pressure on Washington's regional allies.
The attack on a major international airport sends an unmistakable message: no target in the Gulf is beyond Iran's reach, or its willingness to strike.
Russia has secretly helped Iran develop advanced supersonic cruise missiles, in what the Financial Times describes as one of the most significant known transfers of strategic military technology from Moscow to Tehran, according to an investigation published Wednesday.
NATO member Turkey would consider taking its relations with the China and Russia-led security bloc, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, to a higher level, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.
The U.S. and Iran found themselves back in a war footing on Wednesday after the most significant exchange in weeks, with Washington threatening even more devastating strikes while Iran protested an attack that it said killed five and wounded dozens of civilians at a wedding.
