Kuwait says air defenses intercepted missiles and drones from Iran

KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait — KUWAIT — Kuwait's armed forces said on Monday that its air defense units intercepted missiles and hostile drones launched from Iran, with no casualties or impact on Kuwaiti territory reported. The army said its units engaged incoming threats and neutralized them using air defense systems. Officials did not provide a count of the projectiles intercepted or specify the launch locations inside Iran. Kuwaiti authorities said they would continue to update the public as more information becomes available, including details on potential damage. They stressed that all missiles and drones were stopped before reaching Kuwaiti territory and that no civilians were harmed. The interception comes amid heightened tensions across the Gulf, where several regional states have been on alert for Iranian military activity in recent months.
