Conflict spreads to civilian infrastructure
Kuwait International Airport is among the busiest aviation hubs in the Gulf and handles a significant number of international flights, including services connecting India and the Middle East.
The airport attack comes amid a broader Iranian offensive involving missile and drone strikes targeting Kuwait and Bahrain. Iran has described the attacks as retaliation for earlier US strikes on Qeshm Island.
The targeting of a civilian passenger terminal signals a sharp escalation in the conflict and has raised fresh concerns over aviation safety and regional stability.
