A fire broke out at Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday after drones targeted a fuel tank, Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority confirmed.
Emergency teams rushed to the site and activated safety protocols immediately.
Agency spokesman Abdullah Al-Rajhi said firefighters deployed quickly and brought the blaze under control. Preliminary reports indicated only material damage, with no casualties.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation stated that “the relevant authorities immediately implemented the approved emergency procedures” to contain the situation.
This marks the latest in a series of attacks on Kuwait airport since the regional conflict escalated on February 28, when Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran. On March 14, drones struck the airport’s radar system, though no injuries were reported.
Officials said the airport remains operational, but security has been tightened. The incident underscores the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the region amid ongoing tensions.
