Iran live updates: 'Significant' damage at Kuwait airport after Iran drone attacks

The Kuwaiti army's General Staff Headquarters reported damage at Kuwait International Airport after an attack by Iranian drones on Wednesday.

Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Gen. Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi said that "a number of hostile drones" attacked Terminal 1 at the airport.

The attack, he said in a post to the headquarters' X account, "resulted in significant material damage to the building and injuries to a number of individuals, who received the necessary medical care."

U.S. Central Command said Iran's claims to have successfully attacked a Middle Eastern U.S. airbase and the 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain were "false."

"All Iranian attacks on American forces failed. U.S. forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression," CENTCOM wrote in a post to X.

An additional wave of Iranian drones "attempting to attack U.S. forces in Kuwait failed to impact intended targets" on Tuesday night, U.S. Central Command said in a social media statement.

"U.S. Central Command air defenses successfully downed multiple drones and ensured no American personnel or assets were harmed," the statement said.

U.S. forces helped intercept Iranian missiles and conducted "self-defense" strikes on Qeshm Island, following "attempted attacks" by Iran in the Middle East on Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said.

"Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets," CENTCOM said in a statement.

Two missiles launched at Kuwait were unsuccessful, while three fired at Bahrain were intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces, CENTCOM said.

U.S. forces also shot down multiple attack drones launched by Iran "toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters," CENTCOM said.

The self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island targeted an Iranian military ground control station, according to CENTCOM.

No U.S. personnel were harmed in the attacks, CENTCOM said.
