A drone attack targeted Kuwait International Airport on Saturday, causing minor injuries to several workers and limited infrastructure damage, according to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). The incident occurred amid heightened regional tensions as Iran continues military strikes targeting US bases across the Middle East.
Emergency services responded immediately to the early morning attack, which temporarily disrupted flight operations. KUNA reported that airport authorities have since restored normal operations while maintaining heightened security measures. No group has claimed responsibility for the strike at press time.
The attack follows recent escalations in cross-border military actions, with Iranian forces conducting multiple strikes against US installations in neighboring Iraq and Syria this month. Analysts suggest these developments could impact regional stability and international energy markets, given Kuwait's strategic position as a major oil producer.
Security experts warn that the use of drone technology in such attacks presents new challenges for airport defense systems across the Gulf Cooperation Council states. The incident has prompted renewed discussions about coordinated air defense strategies among Middle Eastern allies.
