American warplanes hit a radar station in southern Iraq, in response to Iraqi warplanes entering the southern no-fly zone and, in one case, Saudi Arabia (on September 4th).  Iraq has accused Kuwait of stealing Iraqi oil by drilling into Iraqi oil deposits.

France and Russia never accepted the ban on airline flights to Iraq.
