The Iranian army claimed responsibility for the offensive, stating its forces used "destructive drones" against a Patriot anti-missile system in Kuwait, as well as a munitions depot and a radar station belonging to U.S. forces in the same country. While most Gulf nations reported attacks from Iran, Oman did not specify the origin. In Qatar, shrapnel from intercepted projectiles caused at least three injuries, including a child. Jordan reported three missile impacts causing "minor material damage."
