Kuwait’s Air Defenses Intercept Hostile Missile and Drone Threats

Kuwait city: Kuwait's air defenses are actively intercepting "hostile" missiles and drones, the Army General Staff said Saturday. It stated that explosions may be heard across the country due to these interceptions, urging the public to follow safety instructions from relevant authorities. The country later issued a similar statement indicating that forces were encountering a second wave of attacks.

According to Anadolu Agency, the US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28, prompting Tehran to retaliate with drone and missile strikes targeting Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Kuwait has been a target in this ongoing campaign.

Data from the Kuwaiti Army, National Guard, Center For Government Communication, and the KUNA official news agency reveal that Kuwait has been targeted by at least 261 missile and 585 drone attacks since the conflict started.
