Kuwait temporarily closes its airspace after reports of Iranian missile and drone attacks, according to multiple outlets. Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority announces the airspace closure on Thursday and directs that flights be diverted as regional tensions tied to the US-Iran conflict continue to spill into the Gulf. Kuwait’s military says its air defence systems intercept multiple missiles and drones. The General Staff states that explosions heard in several areas are the result of interception operations carried out by air-defence units, and it urges the public to rely on official information. The reported attacks and the subsequent airspace closure are described as part of ongoing hostilities in the region, with Kuwait positioning its response as defensive. While the outlets describe similar actions—closure of airspace, diversion of flights, and interception activity—specific details about damage or casualties are not consistently provided in the excerpts.
