Currently, work continues to assess them, eliminate the consequences, resume operational processes and provide the facility, the department noted, emphasizing that the situation is completely under control.
Reuters, citing Kuwait's state news agency, reported that 12 wounded were taken to hospitals.
The Daily Express US, citing an article from The Wall Street Journal, available by subscription, wrote that the incident caused panic among local residents and travelers at the airport.

Users of the social network X published footage from the scene of the incident, in particular, cryptoinfestor and blogger Mario Navfal.
🚨🇰🇼🇮🇷 Iranian suicide drones just hit Kuwait International Airport. A civil airport.
Iran just crossed the line that changes the nature of the nature of this conflict.
Every airline flying in Gulf right now is a potential target. https://t.co/3kOtFScUsK pic.twitter.com/HuIqE5v5nR
