An Iranian drone attack targeted fuel tanks at Kuwait’s international airport, sparking a large fire but causing no casualties, Kuwaiti state news agency KUNA says.

Emergency teams rushed to the site, but initial reports show only material ⁠damage at the facility run by the Kuwait Aviation Fueling Company, the agency adds, citing a spokesperson for civil aviation authorities.

Bahrain’s interior ministry meanwhile says that civil defense teams are extinguishing a fire at a company facility following what authorities described as an Iranian attack, adding that relevant authorities are taking necessary measures at the site.

No immediate details are provided on the company, casualties or the extent of damage.
