Overview
- Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority temporarily closed the country's airspace early Thursday as a precaution and has since reopened it with flights running to approved schedules.
- The authority said the strikes targeted Kuwait International Airport's radar, caused injuries, and inflicted heavy damage to radar and air-traffic equipment.
- Flights were diverted to partner airports under existing agreements while authorities assessed risks and carried out emergency operational steps.
- Kuwait filed a formal protest with the International Civil Aviation Organization asking that the incidents be documented and reserving its legal rights.
- The CAA said it will continue round-the-clock monitoring and coordination with domestic and international bodies and urged passengers and airlines to follow official channels for updates as authorities evaluate any further safety actions.
