The Kuwaiti Army General Staff Headquarters reported intercepting 24 Iranian kamikaze drones launched at Kuwaiti territory over the past 48 hours. No damage or casualties were caused, according to the statement.
The latest statement from the Kuwaiti Army General Staff provides the first specific count of intercepted drones in the ongoing Iranian aerial campaign against Gulf states, which escalated over the past 48 hours. As The Zioneer reported earlier (05:16 Jerusalem), Kuwait initially confirmed it was intercepting hostile targets without specifying numbers. The current figure of 24 kamikaze drones, all intercepted without damage or casualties, represents the total over two days. This follows multiple waves of Iranian attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan since yesterday, in which Iranian media claimed strikes on the Ali al-Salem base — a claim the IRGC made but remains unverified. Bahrain separately confirmed 36 Iranian drones launched at the kingdom this morning, with minor debris injuries. The interception count suggests Kuwait's air defenses have been actively engaged against the drone threat throughout the period.
