A military air base in Kuwait hosting Italian personnel has sustained significant runway damage following an Iranian missile strike, according to official statements. Italian authorities confirmed that while infrastructure was heavily impacted, no Italian troops were injured in the attack.

The strike targeted a base where members of the Italian Air Force are stationed as part of Italy’s overseas military presence in the region. Officials stated that the missile impact caused serious structural damage to the runway, potentially affecting flight operations and logistical movements at the facility. However, all Italian personnel were reported safe after taking shelter in reinforced bunkers prior to impact.

The attack comes amid a broader wave of Iranian missile operations across the region, escalating tensions between Iran and Western aligned forces. Defense sources indicated that emergency protocols were activated immediately upon detection of incoming threats, which played a crucial role in preventing casualties among stationed troops.

Italian authorities are currently assessing the extent of the damage and coordinating with Kuwaiti officials regarding repairs and operational continuity. There has been no confirmation yet on how long the runway will remain out of service, but military engineers are expected to conduct rapid evaluations.

This incident marks another significant development in the expanding regional confrontation, underscoring the vulnerability of strategic military infrastructure amid ongoing hostilities
