Kuwait’s Air Defences Intercept Hostile Missiles & Drones, No Location Specified

Kuwait’s army reported intercepting hostile missile and drone threats on Thursday. No specific origin was mentioned.

The air defenses were responsible for any explosions heard within the country, according to the statement. Authorities urged residents to follow safety instructions.

This announcement followed US strikes earlier in the day against what Washington claimed was an Iranian drone operation threatening US forces and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran confirmed the US attack, stating it targeted a US air base at 4:50 am after an early morning strike near Bandar Abbas airport. The specific location of the base was not disclosed.

Kuwait, which hosts a US air base, did not attribute the threats to Iran. Gulf countries, including Kuwait, experienced missile and drone attacks during the US-Israel war on Iran. Hostilities have largely subsided since April’s ceasefire, though drones have been launched from Iraq towards Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
