Kuwait's military reported that its air defense systems are currently intercepting drones fired from Iran toward the country, according to the Kuwait Army. The announcement comes hours after Kuwait warned of an approaching Iranian drone swarm, following US strikes on Iranian targets earlier today.
The Kuwait Army announced on Thursday afternoon that its air defense systems are actively intercepting drones launched from Iran toward the country. The report comes roughly three hours after Kuwaiti authorities warned of an approaching Iranian drone swarm, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. The warning followed US military strikes on Iranian command centers, missile sites, and air defense systems on Thursday morning, which the US said targeted Iranian assets. The current interception, if confirmed, would mark the latest in a series of Iranian drone incursions into the Gulf region over the past weeks, including previous interceptions by Kuwait in June and July. The extent of the drone swarm and any damage or casualties remain unclear. The Kuwait Army has not yet provided details on the number of drones intercepted or the outcome of the engagements.
