Kuwait’s civil aviation authority says that an Iranian attack targeting Kuwait International Airport’s radar earlier today caused injuries and serious material damage to radar facilities and equipment linked to air traffic management.

“The airport’s radar was targeted this morning,” Kuwait’s civil aviation body says in a letter addressed to the International Civil Aviation Organization.

It adds that the attack “injured people and caused significant material damage and losses affecting radar facilities, equipment and air traffic management systems.”
