Kuwait’s main commercial port was damaged in a drone attack on Friday (March 27, 2026), authorities said, as Iran pressed its campaign in the Gulf in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes.

The Shuwaikh port was targeted at dawn “by enemy drones; preliminary reports revealed material damage but no human casualties”, the Kuwait port authority said in a statement on X.

The missile and drone attack on the Mubarak al-Kabeer port similarly caused damage but no casualties, the ministry said.
