Two border service personnel were killed while on duty in Kuwait, the country's Interior Ministry announced. The Kuwaiti news agency, citing the ministry, reported that the border guards were killed at dawn today, with the exact circumstances and location of their deaths remaining unclear.

Shortly after, Kuwaiti authorities reported a fire that broke out in the fuel tanks at Kuwait Airport this morning, Al Jazeera reports.

For context: the US and Israel have been attacking Iranian territory since February 28, causing destruction and casualties. In response, Iran has been launching missile strikes against Israel and US military bases in the region. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Seyyed Khamenei and other senior officials were killed in the US-Israeli strikes. On March 2, Hezbollah joined the war against Israel, with Israel announcing the launch of an offensive operation against the movement.
