Iran attacks Kuwait and Bahrain; US strikes near Hormuz

Kuwait's international airport sustained damage from an Iranian drone and missile attack, leading to flight suspensions and casualties, according to Kuwaiti authorities and media.

Eyewitness videos circulated online showing the aftermath of the strikes on Kuwait Airport's T1 terminal building, with significant fire damage reported to its interior and roof. Kuwaiti authorities confirmed one death and over 60 injuries. Flights at the airport have since partially resumed.

Bahrain's army announced it intercepted three missiles and several drones. Iran claimed responsibility for striking the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in the country, as well as an air force base and helicopters in an undisclosed regional location.

The US military commented that two Iranian missiles aimed at Kuwait failed to reach their target or broke up mid-flight, while several ballistic missiles in the region missed their intended targets. The US also stated it shot down drones targeting civilian ships and US forces in Kuwait, and conducted strikes near the Strait of Hormuz following alleged Iranian attack attempts.

These incidents follow repeated Iranian attacks on targets in the Persian Gulf region since the conflict began on February 28. Despite recent signals of progress toward a ceasefire and opening the Strait of Hormuz, both Iran and the US have yet to sign a formal agreement.
