Kuwait has said it would temporarily close its airspace from 4:50am (6:50am PKT) and divert flights to alternative airports, after Iranian attacks in the region, AFP reports.
“This measure comes in light of the Iranian attacks on the State of Kuwait and the potential risks this poses to civil aviation in the region,” the Kuwaiti Directorate General of Civil Aviation said in a statement.
“Airspace will be reopened and air traffic will resume as soon as the situation has ended and the causes of the danger have been eliminated, based on the assessment of the relevant authorities.”
