The U.S. Embassy in Israel issued a security alert on June 4 urging American citizens in the Middle East to exercise extra caution and identify the nearest shelter in case of potential hostilities in the region.

The alert was issued a day after Iran launched a drone attack on Kuwait International Airport, killing one person and injuring dozens of others. Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry said the attack damaged civilian facilities and forced the suspension of flights.
