Iranian attacks on Gulf states cause material damage without casualties

Gulf states witnessed a new wave of Iranian attacks on Wednesday, targeting military facilities and vital infrastructure, as military escalation continues between Iran on one side and the United States and Israel on the other, with no human casualties reported in the latest attacks.

Targeting Saudi Arabia

Saudi Civil Defense announced that debris from the interception of a ballistic missile fell on two houses in the Eastern Province, one of them uninhabited, causing limited material damage without injuries.

The Ministry of Defense also confirmed that five drones were intercepted and destroyed in the same area as part of efforts to repel the aerial attacks.

Repeated attack on Kuwait Airport

Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority announced that a fire broke out in a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport after it was targeted by drones.

The official spokesperson said the damage was limited to material losses, with no casualties reported, noting that emergency plans were activated to deal with the incident.

Later, the Kuwaiti army announced that air defenses confronted missile and drone attacks, while the National Guard confirmed the downing of six drones.

Iran announces targeting military bases

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced the launch of missiles and drones toward several targets in the region, including Israel and Gulf countries.

Iranian state television reported that the attacks targeted sites inside Israel, as well as U.S. military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, including Ali Al Salem base and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain, and Azraq base in Jordan.

Previous losses and UN meeting

Reports stated that Iranian attacks since late February resulted in the death of 36 people in Gulf countries, including 17 civilians, according to official data.

In this context, the United Nations Human Rights Council is holding an emergency session today to discuss the consequences of these attacks, amid diplomatic moves by seven Gulf countries — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar — to present a draft resolution condemning the escalation and calling for it to stop.
