The Kuwaiti army announced early Wednesday that it is currently intercepting drones and missiles fired into the principality, according to a report by Israeli defense correspondent Guy Elster. The brief statement did not specify the number, origin, or type of targets, and no information on casualties or material damage has emerged so far. The report adds that Kuwait and Bahrain are again the immediate target of the Iranian response.
The event comes amid an ongoing regional escalation between Iran and the United States, with Gulf states frequently caught in the crossfire. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple waves of Iranian strikes against Kuwait and Bahrain since early June, following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian air defense and radar sites. In recent weeks, Kuwaiti air defenses have intercepted several salvos of drones and missiles, with varying accounts of damage. The current report suggests a renewed Iranian attack, though official confirmation from Kuwaiti authorities beyond the army's announcement has not yet been published. The situation remains fluid.
