Unverified reports indicate explosions in Kuwait, simultaneous with reported US strikes on the coast of Qeshm Island. No details on cause or damage are available.
A single unverified report Thursday evening claims explosions were heard in Kuwait, simultaneous with reported US strikes on the coast of Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The cause of the blasts and any damage or casualties remain unknown. The report follows a separate incident earlier today at the Kuwait-Iraq border crossing, where explosions were reported after a drone attack. The Zioneer reported at 13:31 Jerusalem that Iran claimed responsibility for that strike, calling it retaliation for a US attack on the Shalamcheh crossing. The region has seen a series of unverified reports of US operations against Iranian targets in recent weeks, including strikes on Qeshm Island itself. As The Zioneer reported on July 16, Iranian state media reported 10 new explosions on Qeshm after American strikes. Earlier, on July 17, analyst Chananel Aviv reported hits on American targets in Kuwait. The new report of explosions in Kuwait has not been independently verified, and no connection to the earlier border crossing incident has been established.
