One person has been killed after Iranian drones struck civilian buildings including Kuwait's international airport, according to Kuwaiti authorities.
The attack is part of a new wave of strikes between the US and Iran, further threatening an already strained Middle East ceasefire, according to reports.
“Kuwait says one person has been killed in an Iranian drone strike that hit its international airport and other civilian buildings, as US and Iran launch new strikes threatening a ceasefire.”
Kuwait 'condemns' the attack, which hit civilian infrastructure. The Gulf state said one person died when drones struck the airport and other civilian buildings.
The incident underscores the escalating tensions in the region, with the US and Iran both launching new strikes. No other countries have issued official statements at this stage.
Kuwait's condemnation is the only official response so far. The attack comes amid a fragile ceasefire that was already under pressure.
The immediate next steps remain unclear, but the strike raises the risk of further retaliation and a broader conflict.
For UK readers, the attack may have implications for travel safety in the Gulf region, but no specific UK government advice has been reported in connection with this incident.
