Iran\u2019s drone and missile strikes struck Terminal 1 (T1) at Kuwait International Airport on June 3 (local time), forcing a complete suspension of airport operations.<\/p>\n

On June 3, the Kuwait Times and Reuters reported that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said the Iranian strikes caused significant damage to multiple airport facilities and resulted in casualties.<\/p>\n

DGCA said it immediately activated the airport\u2019s emergency response plan. DGCA spokesperson Abdulla Alaji said authorities moved swiftly to implement approved emergency procedures to secure passengers, airport staff and critical airport infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Alaji said the DGCA has suspended all flights until necessary security and technical measures are completed and officials confirm the airport is ready to resume operations. Flights to and from Kuwait International will be diverted to alternate airports until further notice.<\/p>\n

He added that a specialist technical team has begun a comprehensive inspection and assessment to determine the full extent of damage and to verify the stability of airport facilities and operational systems before repair and restoration work begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
