Kuwait says Iranian drones hit airport and killed 1 as ceasefire is tested again
Kuwait says Iranian drones have heavily damaged a passenger terminal at its main, killing one person, wounding dozens and briefly closing the airfield.
Kuwait briefly shut the country’s main airport Wednesday after Iranian drones heavily damaged a terminal building, killing one person and wounding dozens — the latest salvo in a series of back-and-forth attacks by Tehran and Washington that have tested a fragile ceasefire.
The strikes came as semiofficial Iranian news agencies said the country had stopped communicating with mediators about extending a ceasefire in the war with the U.S. and Israel. A regional official said Tehran wanted the truce in Lebanon enforced before returning to talks. U.S. President Donald Trump said negotiations were continuing.
The talks have dragged on for weeks, and repeated exchanges of strikes in the Gulf region and Israel’s broadening war in Lebanon are further straining the efforts.
