Kuwait’s defense ministry said the projectiles were intercepted on Wednesday. The attack on Kuwait International Airport claimed one life: an Indian national. It is the first reported death in a Gulf state since the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire in April.

US Donald Trump said ceasefire talks are ongoing. He called Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu a “great partner.” Trump said: “They needed us, and we helped them solve a real problem, because Iran was a real problem, a big problem, a global problem.”
