The Kuwaiti army said Iran's drone attack struck several vital facilities, including a government site in northern Kuwait, and damaged civilian vehicles belonging to a company on Bubiyan Island, with shrapnel causing property damage, according to Israeli media.
The Kuwaiti army confirmed Saturday morning that Iran's drone strike damaged a government facility in northern Kuwait and civilian vehicles belonging to a company on Bubiyan Island, causing property damage from shrapnel. No casualties were reported. The confirmation came hours after the attack, as the full scope of the damage became clear.
At 09:30 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported initial interceptions of an Iranian missile attack. Subsequent reports throughout the morning clarified that the strike involved drones targeting US bases in Kuwait, and later specified that a government facility and civilian vehicles were hit. The Kuwaiti army's final assessment confirmed damage to those sites, with no casualties.
The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple waves of Iranian drone strikes against Kuwait, targeting US military bases and critical infrastructure such as oil collection centers and power plants. Satellite imagery earlier showed damage to Kuwait's oil collection center, limiting exports for months. The current attack occurred after a night without US strikes on Iran.
The extent of damage to the government facility and the specific company affected on Bubiyan Island remain unverified by independent sources. Iranian claims of targeting US bases in Kuwait have not been confirmed by US Central Command.
