Sharing photos of firefighters putting out a blaze in a building and of a burnt out car, it said first responders were taking the “necessary measures” to respond to the incident.

Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard said that it fired ballistic missiles at a U.S. airbase and its control center in Jordan.
“12 ballistic missiles were launched at the locations where American F-35, F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft are stationed, as well as key facilities of the terrorist American military at Al Azraq air base and its control center and the facilities and a large number of the fighter aircraft were destroyed,” the IRGC said, according to state TV.
There was no immediate response to the claim from the Pentagon.
Kuwait has reopened its airspace hours after Iranian attacks prompted a temporary closure.
The reopening comes after “the dissipation of the conditions” that had triggered the earlier closure, Kuwait’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation said in a statement.
Kuwait International Airport is back to normal operations and flights have resumed “with ongoing monitoring and immediate evaluation of any new developments that may arise, and taking the necessary measures at the time,” the directorate said.
It said it continues to monitor the situation to ensure safety.
The U.S. launched what it called “self-defense strikes” after an American helicopter was shot down by an Iranian drone over the Strait of Hormuz, as President Trump vowed Iran would “pay the price.”
