Kuwait shuts airspace amid escalation in the region

CAIRO (Reuters) -Kuwait has shut down its airspace starting Monday and until further notice amid regional developments, Kuwaiti news agency Kuna reported.

The suspension follows a closure of airspace by Qatar and Bahrain as Iran attacked the Al Udeid U.S. military base in Doha.

The Gulf is home to several U.S. military bases.
