Several Iranian Shahed-series drones struck Kuwait International Airport in the early hours of Saturday, hitting and disabling the airport's primary radar system. Kuwait Civil Aviation Authority declared an emergency and suspended all arrivals and departures for approximately six hours. No casualties were reported among airport personnel or passengers. Kuwaiti air defenses intercepted several additional drones from the same wave before they reached the terminal building and runway areas. The radar system was later confirmed to be damaged beyond immediate repair, requiring emergency replacement of key components. Kuwait Airways diverted five incoming international flights to Bahrain International Airport. The incident is the second attack on Kuwaiti civil aviation infrastructure since the conflict began, underscoring Iran's strategy of targeting Gulf state civilian infrastructure to increase economic pressure on countries hosting US forces.
