The February 24, 1991 opening of the Ground War phase of Operation Desert Storm (24-28 February 1991). The 30th Anniversary. Hard to believe that. This, the first Persian Gulf War began with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on 2 August 1990 and ended with the Liberation of Kuwait by Coalition forces. Iraq subsequently agreed to the United Nations' demands on 28 February 1991. The ground war officially concluded with the signing of the armistice on 11 April 1991. However, the official end to Operation Desert Storm did not occur until sometime between 1996 - 1998. TIMELINE: 24 February: U.S.-led Coalition forces invade Iraq and Kuwait at around 4 a.m. Baghdad time. Special Air Service was the first to enter Iraqi territory. 25 February: 20,000 Iraqi troops surrender to the coalition. By the end of February, about 100,000 Iraqi troops will have surrendered. Iraq launches Scud missile attacks on Dhahran in Saudi Arabia which kills 28 American troops and injures 98 civilians. 26 February: President of Iraq Saddam Hussein announces that Iraq will withdraw from Kuwait totally and accept the UN resolution. Saddam still does not renounce Iraqi claims over Kuwait. About 10,000 retreating Iraqi troops are killed when coalition aircraft bombed their stolen civilian and military vehicles. This becomes known as the Highway of Death. Iraqi troops flee from Kuwait City. 27 February: U.S. Marines and Saudi Arabian troops enter Kuwait City. The 101st Airborne Division is less than 250 km from Baghdad over Highway. President Bush announces that the Liberation of Kuwait has started and the cessation of hostilities will end that day at 04:00 GMT. Coalition announces they have destroyed almost half of the all Iraqi divisions and 500,000 Iraqi troops has been taken as POWs. 28 February: President of the United States George H.W. Bush announces the ceasefire, declaring that Kuwait is free and the Iraqi Army is defeated.
