Apart from killing 1 person, the Iranian drone that attacked Kuwait International Airport caused heavy damage to the passenger terminal. Meanwhile, the US military said it intercepted several drones targeting US forces in Kuwait and intercepted Iranian missiles fired towards the country. It also said US and Bahraini forces intercepted missiles and drones aimed at Bahrain, home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet. In response, the US launched strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Both Washington and Tehran said their actions were retaliation, as efforts to maintain a fragile regional ceasefire continued to strain.
