Ynet reports, citing Iranian sources, that explosions were heard in Kuwait and that an American military base was hit. No details on casualties or damage are available, and the reports remain unverified.
Reports emerged early Tuesday from multiple sources, including Ynet and security analyst Chananel Aviv, describing explosions in Kuwait and claiming that a US military base was hit. The reports, which cite Iranian sources, have not been independently verified.
This follows a report at 01:58 Jerusalem time by The Zioneer, which noted powerful explosions shaking Kuwait City and smoke rising from the area of American bases in the northern part of the city. The cause of the blasts remains unclear.
The current wave of reports comes amid a broader regional escalation between Iran and US forces in the Gulf. The Zioneer has previously covered multiple rounds of Iranian strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, as well as US strikes on Iranian infrastructure. No details on casualties or damage are available at this time.
