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.
