Kuwaiti officials said on Wednesday that at least one person was killed and 63 injured by an Iranian missile and drone attack on the Kuwait International Airport. Kuwait denounced the attack as a violation of its sovereignty and international law, but its only retaliatory action has been expelling two Iranian diplomats and ordering a staff reduction at the Iranian embassy.
U.S. Central Command said an “additional wave of Iranian drones attempting to attack U.S. forces in Kuwait failed to impact intended targets” on Tuesday night, as “air defenses successfully downed multiple drones and ensured no American personnel or assets were harmed.” The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry condemned the “brutal and ongoing Iranian attacks using ballistic missiles and drones,” which targeted “civilian and vital facilities, including Kuwaiti International Airport, resulting in the death of one individual, injuries to others, and damage to vital facilities, including diplomatic missions.”
