Kuwait says an Iranian attack targeting its international airport killed at least one person and wounded several others.
The Iranian attack on Kuwait's airport wounded at least 63 people on Wednesday, the health ministry said, with authorities earlier reporting one person killed.
Health ministry spokesman Abdullah al-Sanad said 25 ambulances were dispatched at Kuwait International Airport, adding that "63 injured individuals were received and distributed among hospitals... This includes serious injuries... including head wounds, cerebral hemorrhages, amputations and injuries resulting from explosions."
An airport source told AFP that the death in Kuwait was an Indian national at the airport.
Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned on Wednesday what it described as U.S. attacks on an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island, saying they violated a ceasefire understanding and international law.
The ministry said Kuwait and Bahrain bore "direct and clear responsibility" for the attacks, alleging their territory and facilities had been used to support U.S. military operations against Iran.
Tehran said it reserved the right to self-defence and would use all available means to respond, including by targeting the source of any future attacks.
