KUWAIT CITY, March 25 (Xinhua) — Kuwaiti authorities said on Wednesday morning that air defense systems intercepted several enemy drones and missiles, and a fire broke out after a strike on a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport, but there were no casualties.
The UAE's General Authority for Civil Aviation confirmed that a drone struck a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport. According to a statement on the X social media platform, emergency services and relevant authorities responded quickly to the incident and contained the fire. The statement added that only material damage was caused; there were no casualties.
In a separate statement released at dawn, the Kuwaiti Army reported that air defense systems successfully intercepted enemy missiles and drones detected in the country's airspace. The army added that loud explosions heard in some parts of Kuwait were the result of air defense systems being activated.
Meanwhile, the Kuwait National Guard announced the interception of six UAVs in its areas of responsibility.
In an official statement, Kuwait National Guard spokesman Brigadier General Jadan Fadel said the interception was part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national security, protect critical infrastructure, and neutralize potential threats.
Kuwaiti authorities have not yet released information about the origin of the attacks.
On Tuesday, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense reported that air defense systems detected 17 ballistic missiles and 13 UAVs. The Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy reported that debris falling during interception operations damaged seven overhead power lines, causing partial power outages in some areas. Ministry spokesperson Fatima Hayat added that measures were immediately taken to restore power, and most of the damaged lines have already been repaired.
These incidents occurred amid escalating tensions following US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began last month. Iran has since responded with a series of missile and drone strikes against Israeli and US targets in the Middle East.
