-

DUBAI, June ‌3 (Reuters) - An Iranian drone ​and missile attack struck Kuwait's international ⁠airport early on Wednesday, causing injuries and forcing authorities to ​divert flights, Kuwait's state news agency ‌reported.

The attack caused "severe damage" to the airport's T1 building, the report said, citing ⁠the General Civil ⁠Aviation Authority.

The U.S. military earlier said two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke ‌apart en route, and three ⁠missiles launched at ‌Bahrain were intercepted by ​U.S. and Bahraini forces.

U.S. Central Command added that Iran launched ‌ballistic missiles toward ​regional neighbours but ⁠all failed to hit targets.

U.S. ‌forces conducted ⁠strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran ​and defeated ‌multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones.
