Kuwait's civil aviation authority said Iranian drones hit a fuel depot at Kuwait International Airport early Wednesday, starting a fire, while the National Guard said it intercepted six drones. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it had fired missiles and drones at Israel and at bases hosting U.S. forces in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain.
Why it matters
Kuwait summoned Iran's ambassador later that day for the third time in the war, a sign that Gulf states hosting U.S. forces are absorbing repeated strikes on civilian infrastructure even as talk of a ceasefire plan circulates.
