The Kuwaiti army intercepted hostile missiles and drones, without specifying their origin. Authorities urge the population to follow security instructions.

The Kuwaiti army announced on Thursday morning that its air defense systems intercepted hostile missiles and drones, without providing details about the source of these threats. All explosions heard in the country were the result of these interceptions, and authorities have urged the population to follow security instructions.

This incident comes after the U.S. military shot down four Iranian drones and conducted attacks on a base in southern Iran, confirmed by American officials. Iran stated that it retaliated with an attack on an American airbase, without specifying its location. Kuwait, which hosts a U.S. airbase, did not indicate whether the threats originated from Iran. Although hostilities have decreased following a ceasefire in April, drones have been sporadically launched from Iraq towards Gulf countries, including Kuwait.
