Middle East War: Iranian Drones Strike Fuel Tanks At Kuwait Airport Smoke rose above Kuwait International Airport on Tuesday night after Iranian drones targeted the facility and other locations, escalating tensions in the region. The attack hit a fuel tank, sparking a fire that caused "limited" damage with no casualties reported. The Kuwaiti civil aviation authority confirmed the incident, stating that the country’s air defenses were actively countering hostile missile and drone threats. The Kuwait National Guard added that its forces intercepted six drones during the attack. Kuwait’s airport, which has been largely closed to commercial flights since the regional conflict began on February 28, has faced multiple drone strikes in recent weeks. On March 14, an attack involving "several drones" targeted the airport’s radar system, while earlier strikes on March 8 hit fuel tanks and damaged a passenger terminal, leaving several people injured. The airport’s closure has disrupted air travel in the Gulf state amid the ongoing conflict. The attacks on Kuwait are part of a broader escalation in the Middle East war, which has seen intensified strikes across the region. On the same day as the Kuwait incident, Saudi Arabia reported intercepting four drones in its eastern region. Meanwhile, Israel continued its bombardment of Beirut, targeting infrastructure linked to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group. The 12th Iranian missile barrage was launched at Israel on Tuesday, while rockets fired by Lebanese militants triggered prolonged air raid sirens in northern Israel, resulting in at least one fatality. The conflict has also drawn international attention, with the Trump administration proposing a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran.#iran #trump_administration #kuwait_international_airport #kuwaiti_civil_airport_authority #kuwait_national_guard
