Kuwaiti authorities said early Sunday they are contending with a hostile missile and drone attack, according to the New Security Desk. Sirens were activated in the country, which had already reported at least two impacts earlier in the night. The announcement follows parallel explosions and alerts in Bahrain, as a wave of regional attacks appears to be underway.
Kuwaiti authorities announced early Sunday that the country is facing a hostile missile and drone attack, with sirens activated across the country. The statement, reported by the New Security Desk via Telegram, comes after initial reports of at least two impacts in Kuwait earlier in the night, as The Zioneer reported at 03:15 Jerusalem. The announcement from Kuwait follows a series of explosions and sirens in Bahrain around 03:25 Jerusalem, where local authorities had not yet issued a formal statement. Together, the events mark a significant regional escalation, with multiple Gulf states reporting incoming fire simultaneously. It remains unclear whether the attacks originated from a single source or multiple directions, and no group has claimed responsibility. The scale of the attack and any casualties have not been confirmed. This is the first time Kuwait has publicly acknowledged facing a coordinated hostile aerial assault since the broader regional tensions escalated.
