Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority said today that attacks carried out by Iran during the morning, in response to US airstrikes, damaged the airport's radar and injured several people.

It is the second Iranian attack on Kuwait's only international airport in just over a week, following a drone attack on June 3 that killed an Indian citizen and injured 63 others, French media reported.

In a letter to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Kuwait Civil Aviation Authority said the attack "caused significant material damage, affecting radar installations, equipment and air traffic management systems."

Kuwait's Foreign Ministry condemned "the hateful and repeated Iranian aggression."

"These blatant attacks demonstrate a systematic and aggressive approach that the State of Kuwait will neither accept nor tolerate," the statement added.
