The US military says Iran launches seven ballistic missiles targeting Kuwait and Bahrain. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), six of the missiles are intercepted by US forces, while a seventh fails to reach its intended target. The report cites a US statement posted on social media detailing the interceptions and the outcome for the remaining missile. France 24 also reports the same figures, describing the seventh missile as not reaching its target. In response, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards state that they hit “enemy bases” in the Gulf. The accounts therefore differ in emphasis: the US and its forces describe the missile launches and the interception of most of them, while Iran asserts successful strikes against bases. The two outlets’ reports are consistent on the number of missiles, the countries targeted in the Gulf, and that the US intercepts six with one not reaching its target.
