According to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the General Staff of the Army of Kuwait declared on Saturday that air defence systems responded to aerial missiles detected in Kuwaiti airspace in accordance with authorized operational procedures and rules of engagement.
According to Kuwait’s foreign ministry, the Gulf nation has the right to self-defense in the event of Iranian strikes. The Public Authority for Civil Aviation declared on Saturday that airspace would be closed as a result of regional political and security events.Spokesman Abdullah Al-Rajhi told KUNA that the decision was made as a precaution to protect the safety and security of travelers, airlines, and operations at Kuwait International Airport from any potential threats.
Following US and Israeli assaults on Iran, which sparked a renewed military conflict in the area, international airlines grounded flights throughout the Middle East on Saturday. When Israel claimed to have hit Iran and the US military launched a series of strikes against targets in the country, flight charts revealed that the airspace over Iran was essentially empty. Iran launched a missile fire in retaliation. After weeks of US military buildup in the region, the escalation rekindled hostilities and lowered prospects for a diplomatic resolution to Tehran’s nuclear standoff with the West.
