Kuwait's civil aviation authority confirmed that Kuwait International Airport was targeted by several Iranian drones, resulting in material damage but no casualties. 'The civil aviation announces that Kuwait International Airport was targeted by several drones, resulting only in material damage,' authorities said. This follows earlier intercepts of Iranian drones over Kuwaiti airspace and represents an escalation — drones now impacting airport infrastructure rather than being intercepted.

Kuwait's civil aviation authority confirmed on Thursday March 12 that Kuwait International Airport had been targeted by several Iranian drones, resulting in material damage. 'The civil aviation announces that Kuwait International Airport was targeted by several drones, resulting only in material damage,' authorities stated, adding there were no casualties. The attack escalates beyond the earlier drone intercepts reported by Kuwait's defense ministry — drones are now penetrating air defenses and striking airport infrastructure. Kuwait International Airport is a major regional hub. The attack is part of Iran's broader campaign against Gulf state infrastructure including attacks on Dubai airport (Day 11), Bahrain airport oil tanks, and Saudi oilfields.
