April 1 (Reuters) – ⁠An ⁠Iranian drone ⁠attack struck fuel tanks ​at Kuwait International ‌Airport on Wednesday, sparking ‌a ⁠massive ⁠fire but causing no casualties, Kuwait’s ​state news agency KUNA said.

The latest of ​several attacks on the ⁠airport and ⁠fuel storage ⁠there came ​as the U.S.-Israeli war ​on Iran ⁠broadens with Tehran’s strikes on Israel and ⁠Gulf Arab states that host U.S. military ⁠installations.

Wednesday’s attack caused significant damage to airport fuel tanks belonging to the Kuwait Aviation Fuelling Company, the agency cited ⁠a spokesperson for the civil aviation authority as saying.
