The Kuwait airport security has been reinforced after another drone attack targeted fuel storage tanks at Kuwait International Airport. Authorities confirmed no casualties, and emergency teams contained the resulting fire.
The Public Authority of Civil Aviation reported that the blaze affected Kuwait Aviation Fuelling Company (KAFCO) facilities, causing significant material damage. However, emergency crews acted swiftly to limit losses to infrastructure only.
Defense officials intercepted three cruise missiles and 15 hostile drones in 24 hours. Debris from interceptions fell on a residential home without injuries. Specialized units safely neutralized additional explosive objects. The National Guard downed six drones across its zones of responsibility, and airspace and water radiation levels remain normal.
Interior ministry teams, collaborating with the military and National Guard, managed 13 reports of falling debris during this period, bringing the total to 629 cases since the attacks began. The Kuwait Fire Force handled 90 non-routine incidents, including fires caused by debris or direct strikes, and extinguished both the airport fuel tank blaze and another fire near residential areas, with no casualties reported.
Support for Kuwait’s airport security came from abroad. King Charles III sent a written message affirming Britain’s commitment to Kuwait’s sovereignty and security. The Prime Minister chaired a meeting to enhance infrastructure and logistics, including allocating land for strategic storage to strengthen supply management and national readiness.
Officials condemned the attacks as violations of international law. The Interior Ministry highlighted Iranian strikes on civilian areas, airports, and critical infrastructure, urging regional and international cooperation to counter drones, cybercrime, terrorism, and drug trafficking. Kuwait’s Foreign Minister met his Saudi counterpart to discuss the regional impact, reaffirming bilateral coordination and shared security strategies.
Contingency measures were reviewed across sectors. Kuwait Ports Authority maintained operations despite Shuwaikh Port disruptions. The National Bank of Kuwait temporarily closed key branches but continued services digitally. Saudi Arabia launched cross-border bus routes connecting Kuwait with Dammam and Al-Qaisumah airports. Education authorities developed plans to ensure safe distance learning, and the commerce ministry conducted inspections to protect consumers.
Kuwait strengthened its airport security while ensuring continuity across essential services. Emergency preparedness and regional cooperation remain central to maintaining public safety and infrastructure resilience amid ongoing attacks.
