Kuwait temporarily suspended takeoffs and landings at Kuwait International Airport on Saturday after renewed Iranian missile and drone attacks. Kuwait Airways said it was rescheduling most flights and would notify passengers through registered phone numbers, while urging travelers to monitor their flight status. The airline described the disruption as a safety response to hostile attacks following Iranian aggression. The halt came as warning sirens sounded for the fifth time and Kuwaiti air defenses engaged incoming missiles and drones; the initial notices did not specify when normal airport operations would resume.
