Kuwait reported missile attacks and explosions on Tuesday. Kuwait's army announced for the second time in less than half an hour that it was intercepting "hostile" targets. Iranian media Fars News said that the Iranian army carried out a new wave of attacks against the US military bases in Kuwait. No casualty has been reported yet.
Iranian state media Fars claimed that waves of loitering attack drones struck communication systems, fuel storage facilities, Patriot air defence batteries, control towers, and ammunition depots at US military bases in Kuwait. It also claimed that the cruise missile was launched at a hostile US vessel in response to a US attack on military bases.
"The General Staff of the Kuwait Armed Forces announces that any explosions are the result of the Air Defence systems intercepting hostile attacks," the army said in its statements, without providing further details.
