Kuwait’s military says it is responding to “hostile” missile and drone attacks, stating that its air defenses are intercepting the incoming threats. In a message posted on X, the military says any explosions heard are the result of air defense systems engaging the attacks, without naming the source or providing additional details. Kuwait’s state-run news agency KUNA reports that sirens are heard again during the night, indicating repeated alerts. The reports come amid regional tensions, with Kuwait described as having faced Iranian-linked attacks following US and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February that killed senior Iranian leadership. Kuwait, which is a US ally, has also previously indicated that an international airport was targeted in a drone attack, according to the broader reporting referenced in the account. Across the outlets, the key point is Kuwait’s claim that its air defenses are actively intercepting missiles and drones and that the public explosions are associated with those interceptions, rather than damage being confirmed in the latest reports.
