According to reports, Iran has launched projectiles toward Kuwait for the second time in minutes, following an initial report of launches at 19:52 Jerusalem. The type, number, and targets of the munitions are not yet known. The information is based on a single source and has not been independently confirmed.
At 19:54 Jerusalem, a second wave of Iranian launches toward Kuwait was reported, minutes after an initial report at 19:52 Jerusalem. This new barrage comes after a series of attacks on Kuwait earlier today, which The Zioneer tracked in a rapid sequence starting at 05:03 Jerusalem.
The earlier episode began with unverified reports of explosions in Kuwait at 05:03 Jerusalem, followed by a Kuwait Army confirmation of hostile aerial targets. The army then reported intercepting those targets, explicitly attributing them to an Iranian attack. Subsequent reports described an Iranian strike near the Iraqi border, a drone attack, a strike on a vital center with casualties, and further launches—culminating in a report of more than 25 projectiles launched toward Kuwait within a half-hour. The information at that stage came from a mix of security sources and local reports, with the Kuwaiti military providing the first official confirmation.
The Zioneer has previously reported on months of Iranian drone strikes against Gulf states, including earlier attacks on Kuwait. The current barrage, now in its second wave within minutes, appears to be part of an ongoing escalation, though a direct link to the earlier incidents today is not yet clear.
The type, number, and targets of the new launches remain unknown. No reports of intercepts, impacts, or casualties have been received for either wave this evening. All reports are based on single sources and have not been independently confirmed.
