Kuwait's Ministry of Defense said Friday that its air defense forces are actively intercepting 'hostile' targets launched from Iran, according to an N12 report. The statement did not specify the number, type, or origin of the targets beyond the general Iranian attribution. No reports of casualties or damage have emerged.
Kuwait has reported similar interceptions of Iranian missiles and drones on multiple occasions over the past two months amid heightened regional tensions between Iran and the United States, as The Zioneer has previously documented. The latest incident comes without immediate context of a specific trigger, such as fresh US strikes on Iran.
It remains unclear whether any targets evaded interception or struck Kuwaiti territory. The single-source report has not yet been independently corroborated, though the statement is attributed to an official Kuwaiti government source.
