KUWAIT CITY — A drone attack targeted a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport, causing a fire at the site, the country's civil aviation authority said Wednesday. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation said the damage is limited to material losses, with no casualties reported. "Kuwaiti air defences are currently responding to hostile missile and drone attacks," it said on X. Authorities immediately initiated emergency procedures and firefighting teams and agencies were mobilized to contain the blaze, it said. Hostilities have escalated since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Feb. 28. Iran has retaliated with repeated drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. — Agencies
