The Indian Embassy in Kuwait on Wednesday confirmed that an Indian citizen was killed in Iran’s attack on Kuwait International Airport. This attack happened when tension had increased again in the Gulf area. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on targets in Kuwait and Bahrain. Here, America has conducted army operations near Hormuz.
Kuwait’s Health Minister has said that at least 63 people have been injured in this attack. These include airport employees and passengers. According to Kuwaiti officials, Iran’s drone and missile attack has caused damage to airport facilities and diplomatic missions. One person has died among them. Many others have been injured. Flights at Kuwait International Airport have been temporarily halted.
The Indian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement regarding this entire matter. He has said that we strongly condemn the attack on Kuwait International Airport today. An Indian citizen died in this. Many of our citizens have been injured. Since the war in the Middle East began, we have consistently stressed that civilians and civilian infrastructure must not be targeted. We once again appeal to all parties to stop such attacks.
The Civil Aviation Authority later announced that Kuwait Airways was resuming its flights from Terminal 4 after assessing the damage and implementing safety measures. The recent attack has also made the ceasefire in April tense. Oil prices increased by more than 2 percent. There remains uncertainty around Hormuz.
Bahrain’s military said it intercepted three missiles and several drones. This action took place at a time when Iran claimed that it had targeted the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. An airbase and helicopters located in another regional country were also attacked.
The US military said two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell before reaching either target. Or it broke apart in the air. Other ballistic missiles have also failed to hit their intended targets.
