BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. Kuwaiti and Bahraini authorities have opened airspace that was closed after a missile attack on the US military base at Al Udeid in Doha, Trend reports.
The base is one of the largest US military bases in the Persian Gulf and was attacked in retaliation for US strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
21:57 (GMT+4) Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain have closed their airspace, Trend reports.
The decision followed Iran's missile strike on the US military base at Al Udeid in Doha. The base is one of the largest US military bases in the Persian Gulf and was attacked in retaliation for US strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
Earlier, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement claiming responsibility for the strike on Al Udeid, saying it was carried out “in response to the blatant military aggression by the criminal regime of the United States against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities and its gross violation of international law.”
According to the IRGC, the missile attack was launched under the direction of the Supreme National Security Council and the command of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.
Qatar’s Ministry of Defense later said the attack was successfully repelled.
“By the grace of God and thanks to the high readiness of our armed forces, the attack was swiftly neutralized. There were no casualties or injuries,” the ministry said.
