Kuwait's Finance Ministry said on Sunday that an Iranian drone attack caused major property damage to the ministries complex in Kuwait City on Saturday evening, without causing any casualties. The ministry stated that the attack late Saturday targeted the complex building in the capital city.

Emergency response and work adjustments

According to the ministry, emergency teams and relevant authorities moved immediately to deal with the incident in line with approved procedures. Work for employees would be conducted remotely on Sunday, while in-person work would resume on Monday under precautionary measures.

Background of regional tensions

The region has been on alert since the United States and Israel launched an air offensive on February 28, killing over 1,340 people to date, including then-supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
