Kuwait's military said it intercepted 24 Iranian drones over the past 48 hours, reporting no casualties or damage. A separate security-oriented the source later claimed the drones caused material damage inside Kuwait. The discrepancy remains unresolved, pending official clarification.
The Kuwaiti Army General Staff Headquarters reported on Monday that its air defenses intercepted 24 Iranian kamikaze drones over the past 48 hours, with no damage or casualties on the ground. The statement was published through official channels and provided specific numbers without elaboration on the locations targeted or the timeline of interceptions.
A separate report from the FotrosResistancee the source — which tracks Iran-aligned military activity — claimed that the Iranian drones caused material damage inside Kuwait and named two American bases, Ali Al Salem Air Base and Ahmed Al-Jaber Air Base, as the intended targets. The channel's version conflicts with the Kuwaiti military's own assessment.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10, Iran launched multiple waves of strikes against U.S. bases in the Gulf following American raids on Iranian air defense sites. The IRGC claimed responsibility for attacks on five bases across Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Previous Kuwaiti statements from the same morning had reported interceptions and activating air defenses against "hostile aerial targets" without specifying damage.
The conflicting accounts — one from an official military source and the other from an Iran-aligned channel — underline the difficulty of independently verifying events in the rapidly evolving Gulf theater. No official Kuwaiti clarification has been issued since the initial intercept report.
