New Delhi: Air travel in parts of the Middle East was disrupted after Iran was accused of launching missile attacks towards Kuwait and Bahrain, prompting precautionary measures across the region.

Bahrain temporarily closed its airspace, while flight operations in Kuwait and the UAE were affected, according to reports.

The US military said the missiles either failed or were intercepted and later carried out strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz.

Following the reported attacks, several flights near the Persian Gulf, including around Dubai and the UAE, were diverted, delayed or held in the air as regional tensions remained high.
