Kuwait announced on Friday that its air defense forces were actively intercepting enemy missiles and drones, indicating the country was responding to an aerial incursion from Iran. The Kuwaiti military issued a statement on the platform X confirming the interception of hostile projectiles following the reported Iranian aggression.

In neighboring Bahrain, the Ministry of Interior reported that warning sirens were activated across the country, and the public was urged to seek immediate shelter. Iranian state media, meanwhile, claimed that the Islamic Republic's military had targeted U.S. helicopters and aircraft at an airbase in Bahrain, framing it as a response to hostile actions against civilian infrastructure and innocent people.

Journalists in the capital, Doha, reported hearing several explosions prior to the official announcement from the Ministry of Defense of Qatar, which confirmed the interception of a missile targeting the nation via a post on X.
