Amman: Kuwaiti authorities announced Monday evening the closure of the country's airspace in response to an Iranian attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar.
According to Jordan News Agency, the decision to close the airspace was taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and security of Kuwait's airspace and its citizens. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are in constant communication with relevant parties to assess any further actions required.
The closure is expected to impact flights to and from Kuwait, with airlines advised to reroute or postpone flights until further notice. The Kuwaiti government is coordinating with regional and international bodies to evaluate the implications of the airspace closure and the broader regional security situation.
Kuwait's decision underscores the heightened tensions in the region following the Iranian strike, as neighboring countries take steps to safeguard their airspace amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. The government has urged citizens to remain calm and stay informed through official channels for updates on the situation.
