Kuwait diverts flights from airport after Iranian drones damage terminal

Key Points:

• Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority suspended all air traffic at Kuwait International Airport after Iranian missiles and drones struck Terminal 1, causing structural damage and injuring several people.
• The US conducted strikes on Iranian missile sites on Qeshm Island in self-defense following multiple Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting Kuwait and Bahrain, with several missiles intercepted by US and Bahrain air defenses.
• Iran launched additional drone attacks aimed at US forces in Kuwait, which were successfully intercepted by US defense systems with no casualties or damage reported.
• The US disabled an empty Botswana-flagged oil tanker attempting to reach an Iranian port by firing a missile into its engine after repeated warnings were ignored, marking the sixth commercial vessel disabled since the Strait of Hormuz blockade began.
• CENTCOM has enforced the US blockade on Iranian ports by disabling vessels and striking Iranian radar and drone command sites in retaliation for threats to regional security and the downing of a US drone over international waters.
