Iran War Live Updates: Drone Barrage at Kuwait Airport Kills One and Injures Dozens [View all]

Iran fired a barrage of missiles and drones at Kuwait early Wednesday, including a strike that killed a civilian and injured scores of others at the country’s international airport, the Kuwaiti authorities said. The strike left one of the airport’s terminals ablaze and with a gaping hole in its roof.

The barrage was one of the biggest attacks on a Gulf nation since the U.S.-Iran cease-fire took effect in April, and it showed that Iran still had the ability to inflict damage on its neighbors. Tehran has attacked major energy exporters and trade hubs since the beginning of the war to punish U.S. allies and increase economic pressure on the Trump administration. Negotiations aimed at reopening the vital shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz have dragged on without a resolution.
