Kuwait suspends flights after several injured in Iranian attack on international airport

Kuwait says it had suspended commercial flights after an Iranian drone attack hit the country’s airport, wounding a number of people.

Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Gen. Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi says that “a number of hostile drones” had targeted Kuwait International Airport’s passenger building, severely damaging the building and injuring “a number of individuals.”

The drone attack came after Iran and the United States traded missile strikes overnight, with the US military saying it had launched strikes on an Iranian military facility in retaliation for Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait and Bahrain.
