Drone strikes hit fuel tanks at Kuwait International Airport and a facility in Bahrain, sparking fires and raising alarm across the Gulf region.
Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that Iranian drones targeted airport fuel storage, igniting a blaze that was later brought under control by the Kuwait Fire Force.
In Bahrain, authorities reported a fire at a company facility following similar drone attacks, underscoring the widening scope of strikes on critical infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s military intercepted and destroyed 15 drones before they could reach their intended targets, preventing further damage.
The incidents mark a sharp escalation in the ongoing US–Israel war on Iran, with Tehran and allied factions expanding drone operations across Gulf states.
Regional leaders have condemned the attacks, warning that continued strikes on airports, energy facilities, and shipping routes threaten both security and economic stability in the Middle East.
