Loud explosions were heard in Kuwait, according to unverified reports. The cause and any casualties or damage are not yet known.
In the early hours of Thursday, new reports of explosions in Kuwait emerged, following the sirens that were activated on Wednesday morning. The cause of the blasts and any casualties or damage remain unknown, as the reports are still unverified.
Earlier on Wednesday, at 06:04 Jerusalem, sirens were reported in Kuwait by multiple sources, including Israeli media (Channel 12, ynet) and local outlets. The alerts were also linked to earlier sirens in Bahrain, as reported at the same time. At that stage, no explosions or interceptions were noted.
This latest incident adds to a series of events in Kuwait that The Zioneer has tracked since early June. On June 10, sirens and explosions were reported in the country amid regional tensions. On June 28, local authorities stated they were dealing with a hostile missile and drone attack, according to reports. A massive explosion near the Ali Al Salemi air base was reported on July 8, as The Zioneer documented. These episodes occur against the backdrop of the broader regional escalation involving Iran.
The cause of the latest explosions remains unverified. No official confirmation from Kuwaiti authorities has been received, and it is unclear whether the blasts are related to the earlier sirens or to the ongoing regional conflict. Casualties and damage have not been reported.
