The attack comes amid escalating regional tensions as Israel launched a new wave of large-scale strikes against Iranian government infrastructure. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed in a Telegram post that the operations target Iran following retaliatory actions against U.S. military bases. The ongoing conflict has triggered instability across the Middle East. In southern Iraq, two oil tankers near the port of Basra were attacked, halting operations at the country\u2019s oil terminals. Most personnel were rescued, but one person was killed. In Bahrain, fires broke out at fuel and oil storage facilities near the international airport, prompting authorities to instruct residents to keep windows closed due to heavy smoke. In Oman, emergency crews continue to battle fires at fuel storage facilities in Salalah, with precautionary evacuation orders issued for nearby oil export terminals. Saudi Arabia\u2019s Ministry of Defense reported intercepting and destroying 18 drones in the country\u2019s eastern region in recent days. In a separate statement, it confirmed shooting down a drone heading toward the Shaybah oil field, though it did not specify who was behind the attacks. Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards have indicated that Western financial institutions are also \u201clegitimate targets,\u201d prompting several international banks, including HSBC in Qatar and Citi Bank and Standard Chartered in Dubai, to instruct employees to work from home. The recent surge in attacks highlights growing geopolitical instability and the risk of further escalation in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KUWAIT CITY(National Times)- Several drones targeted Kuwait International Airport, causing financial damage but no casualties, according to Kuwait\u2019s official news agency, citing Civil Aviation Authority.
