Kuwait’s military says its air defences are responding to missile and drone threats it attributes to Iran. In statements posted online, the Kuwaiti General Staff says air-defence systems are actively intercepting “hostile” missiles and drones and that any explosions heard in Kuwait result from those interceptions. Kuwait urges the public to follow safety and security instructions issued by relevant authorities. State media and the military also report that sirens sound in Kuwait during the events, indicating an air-alert response. One statement says the response is taking place for a second time within a few hours, suggesting multiple waves of attempted strikes or renewed threats. The Kuwaiti army frames its response as a defensive measure following earlier Iranian strikes on the country. Across the reports, the consistent details are that air defences are activated, interceptions are occurring, and the military publicly requests adherence to official guidance for civilians during the alerts. The reports do not provide independent information on the origin or impact of every intercepted projectile.
