Sharjah24 - WAM: Kuwait's Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA) activated its emergency response plan at Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday after Iranian missiles and drones struck Terminal One, resulting in casualties and damage to several facilities, spokesman Abdullah Al-Rajhi said.
In a statement carried by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), Al-Rajhi said authorities were responding to the attack in line with established emergency protocols to ensure the safety of workers and passengers and secure airport facilities.
He affirmed that air traffic had been suspended and flights diverted to nearby airports until further notice.
The measure was taken as security and technical contingency plans were being implemented to enable the eventual resumption of airport operations, he added.
Technical teams are assessing the extent of the damage before repair work begins, Al-Rajhi added.
