Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority announced on Thursday that air traffic has returned to normal across the country's airspace after officials lifted precautionary measures imposed earlier amid regional security concerns. The authority confirmed that Kuwait International Airport has resumed standard operations with flights proceeding according to approved schedules.
Safety monitoring continues
The authority said it maintains continuous coordination with relevant domestic and international agencies to monitor developments around the clock. Officials emphasized their commitment to ensuring the highest levels of safety and security within Kuwaiti airspace as commercial traffic returns to normal patterns.
Regional tensions escalate
The precautionary measures followed reports from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that it had struck 18 major US military targets at Ali Al Salem and Ahmad Al Jaber air bases in Kuwait — as well as Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. The claims come amid rapidly escalating tensions after US strikes on southern Iran and Tehran's subsequent announcement that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic.
