Iran attacks Kuwait airport/ One dead, over 60 injured

An Iranian attack on Kuwait's international airport today injured at least 63 people, the Gulf country's Health Ministry said.

One person was also reported to have died in the attack, for which Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the attack was in retaliation for US attacks on an Iranian tanker and an island.

"In response to this aggression, the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, which houses helicopters, as well as the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, were targeted with missiles and drones by Guard forces," a statement on their official Telegram channel, quoted by the AFP news agency, said.

Kuwait's state news agency said the attack caused heavy damage to the airport's Terminal 1, with Kuwait Airways flights resuming later in the day from Terminal 4, according to the civil aviation authority.

Kuwait's Foreign Ministry said the country reserves the right to respond to Iran and that it "will neither accept nor tolerate" such attacks.

Before Wednesday's attack, Kuwait had been experiencing a period of relative calm since the declaration of a ceasefire in the Iran-Iraq war on April 8. /CNA
