The State of Kuwait sent a third official protest letter to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) regarding the continued Iranian attacks on Kuwait International Airport, including the targeting of the airport’s radar earlier on Thursday.
In a statement, the Public Authority of Civil Aviation of Kuwait said the attacks resulted in injuries and significant material damage to radar facilities and equipment linked to air traffic management, the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
The authority noted that the incident required urgent precautionary and operational measures, including the partial suspension of air navigation for a limited period to ensure aviation safety before operations returned to normal.
In its letter to ICAO, the authority stressed that the repeated targeting of civil aviation facilities and air navigation infrastructure constitutes a serious violation of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention of 1944) and international rules governing the safety and security of civil aviation, while placing passengers and aviation personnel at risk.
It urged ICAO to document the violations and examine their implications for the safety and security of regional and international air navigation.
The authority also affirmed that Kuwait reserves all its legal rights in relation to the attacks, including the right to take all appropriate measures in accordance with international law and relevant conventions.
