A drone attack struck Kuwait International Airport on Saturday, injuring several workers and damaging Terminal 1. Similar drone strikes hit residential areas in Bahrain's capital while air raid sirens sounded across Gulf nations.
Kuwait International Airport came under drone attack Saturday, leaving multiple airport workers with minor injuries and causing damage to one of its main terminals, according to Kuwait’s aviation authority.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation reported that the unmanned aircraft struck Terminal 1, prompting immediate emergency response protocols. Abdullah Al-Rajhi, speaking for the aviation directorate, confirmed that authorities quickly secured the area following the incident.
“Assessment, repair, and restructuring of operations are currently underway, adhering to the highest safety standards,” Al-Rajhi stated.
Meanwhile, drone attacks also struck Bahrain, with one unmanned aircraft hitting a residential structure in Manama, the nation’s capital. A second drone went down in Bahrain’s eastern region.
Warning sirens blared throughout Bahrain and other Gulf nations, with Oman being the sole exception to experience the alerts.
The Iranian assault extended to Saudi Arabia as well, with missiles and drones striking both Riyadh, the Saudi capital, and the country’s Eastern Province.
Regional and world leaders have strongly criticized the attacks. Gulf state officials have been communicating with each other in recent hours to voice their unified opposition to Iran’s military actions.
