In related news, Kuwait International Airport’s Terminals 4 and 5 are set to reopen for specific destinations after a temporary closure since February 28 due to regional tensions.
Kuwait’s Director General of Civil Aviation, Sheikh Humoud Mubarak Humoud Al-Sabah, announced the gradual reopening of airport operations in coordination with local and international bodies to ensure safety standards. The airport had suffered damage from previous incidents, prompting ongoing repairs and maintenance to ensure full readiness for operations. The reopening plan involves a phased approach based on safety assessments and evaluations.
Recent reports indicated that Saraya Awliya al-Dam, an armed group in Iraq, claimed responsibility for attacks in Kuwait, Jordan, and Syria. The Kuwait Army also reported intercepting and neutralizing seven hostile drones within its airspace in a single day. These incidents were part of escalating tensions, with Iran being accused of aggression that led to injuries and material damage to vital facilities in Kuwait.
