Kuwait city: Kuwait said Sunday that 'hostile' drones targeted fuel tanks at the Kuwait International Airport in an attack on critical infrastructure. Defense Ministry's spokesman Col. Saud Abdulaziz Al-Atwan stated that the armed forces dealt with a wave of hostile drones that breached the country's airspace at dawn.
According to Anadolu Agency, the attack targeted fuel storage tanks at the Kuwait International Airport, describing it as a direct strike on vital infrastructure. This incident came just a day after Kuwait reported that its air defenses intercepted seven 'hostile' drones that entered the country's airspace early Saturday.
The military confirmed that the drones were intercepted in both the north and south of the country. The incidents led to property damage from falling debris. It was also noted that explosions heard in several areas resulted from air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.
Iran has launched missiles and drones toward Israel and Gulf countries housing US military assets since February 28. Some of these attacks have resulted in casualties and damage to civilian sites, including ports and residential buildings. Tehran has stated that the attacks are in response to a US-Israeli military campaign against Iran, which has led to the deaths of hundreds, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and top military officials.
