Kuwait Intercepts Missile and Drone Attacks Amid Renewed US-Iran TensionsPreviousNext

Kuwait reported intercepting hostile missile and drone attacks amid escalating tensions following fresh US strikes on Iranian military targets near Bandar Abbas. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed retaliatory strikes on US bases, intensifying the fragile ceasefire in the ongoing Iran conflict. Kuwait, hosting US military facilities, did not specify the attackers, and no group claimed responsibility. The Strait of Hormuz remains a focal point of regional instability as ceasefire negotiations continue amid concerns over renewed hostilities.
