KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait, April 1, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Kuwait's civil aviation authority said Wednesday that the Gulf state's international airport had come under an Iranian drone attack that led to "a large fire" at fuel tanks. "Kuwait International Airport has been subjected to blatant attacks by drones launched by Iran and the armed factions it supports," the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) quoted the spokesman of the General Directorate of Civil Aviation as saying. The spokesman, Abdullah Al?Rajhi, said "fuel storage tanks... were targeted, resulting in a large fire at the site", reporting no casualties. On Tuesday, KUNA said an Iranian attack sparked a fire on a Kuwaiti oil tanker at Dubai Port, causing no injuries. The oil-rich Gulf has borne the brunt of Iran's attacks in response to the US-Israeli strikes that sparked the war.
