Kuwait City: Several people were injured after Iranian drones and missiles struck Terminal 1 of Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday, June 3, forcing authorities to suspend flights and divert aircraft to alternative destinations.

Kuwait’s General Civil Aviation Authority (DGCA) said the attack caused substantial damage to airport infrastructure and prompted the activation of emergency response measures.

In a statement carried by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the authority announced the immediate suspension of departures and the diversion of incoming flights until further notice as officials worked to assess the situation.

Emergency teams were deployed across the airport complex, while authorities began evaluating the extent of the damage and ensuring the safety of passengers and staff.

The Kuwaiti military said it was coordinating with relevant agencies and monitoring developments closely. It added that necessary steps would be taken to protect national security and maintain stability.

Officials have not released details on the number of casualties or the condition of those injured. Nor have they indicated when normal airport operations are expected to resume.

The strike comes on the 96th day of the ongoing American-Israeli war on Iran and highlights the growing regional impact of the conflict, which has increasingly threatened civilian infrastructure beyond the immediate battlefield.
