The Kuwaiti military said Tuesday evening that the four soldiers wounded in the attack on a navy ship are in stable condition. The Zioneer reported on the attack three minutes earlier.
At 22:30 Jerusalem, the Kuwaiti military announced that the four soldiers wounded in the attack on a navy ship earlier this evening are in stable condition. The Zioneer first reported the attack at 22:17, based on Israeli news outlet N12. The update is the only new detail since the initial reports of the attack and the broader interception of Iranian projectiles.
The thread of reporting began at 22:17 when the Kuwaiti military first announced the interception of 39 Iranian projectiles — one ballistic missile, five cruise missiles, and 33 drones. Minutes later, it updated the figures to three ballistic missiles, one cruise missile, and 10 drones, and reported one person lightly-to-moderately wounded by shrapnel. A third update at 22:17 confirmed the earlier interception figures and added that a navy ship was attacked and four personnel were wounded. The source of the attack was not identified in the statements.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the ongoing Iranian attacks on Kuwait. On July 12, Kuwait confirmed that Iran struck three border posts and an offshore oil rig, injuring one worker. On July 9, Kuwait reported one wounded in an Iranian missile and drone attack on US Gulf assets. These attacks are part of a broader regional escalation.
It remains unclear who carried out the attack on the navy ship, and whether it is connected to the same barrage that was intercepted. The condition of the individual wounded earlier in the interceptions has not been updated.
