Sirens were heard in Kuwait early Thursday following a drone attack on the country, according to reports. No details on casualties or the origin of the attack have been provided.
Just after midnight Thursday, sirens were reported in Kuwait following a drone attack, according to unverified reports. The alert comes after a series of incidents reported on Wednesday, when The Zioneer reported explosions near US military bases in Kuwait and activation of air defense systems.
On Wednesday at 10:36 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported three developments: initial Iranian media claims of ballistic missiles launched at US bases in the region; more detailed reports of strikes on multiple bases, including the Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait; and later, reports of explosions near US bases in Kuwait with air defense systems activated. These reports remained unverified by independent sources, and no casualties or damage were confirmed.
The current report of a drone attack triggering sirens adds to a pattern of alerts in Kuwait during the ongoing US-Iran confrontation. The Zioneer has tracked multiple siren activations in Kuwait since early June, including reports of air defense engagements and drone strikes on June 10, June 28, July 16, and July 18.
The origin of the drone attack and any impact remain unconfirmed. No independent verification of the siren activation or the attack itself is available at this time.
