Kuwaiti military says it intercepted Iranian drones

Kuwait’s air defenses faced what its military described as hostile drone attacks from Iran early Wednesday, during a night of escalating retaliation between Tehran and Washington.

The Kuwaiti military said on X that its systems were intercepting drones coming from Iran. It described the attacks as a consequence of what it called Iran’s “condemnable aggression.”

Iran launched strikes overnight against U.S. bases in Jordan and Bahrain, according to the report, in response to earlier American bombardments of Iranian territory. The exchanges marked the second round of attacks in two days, following a month without reported bombing or armed aggression between the two countries.

The United States resumed its attacks on Sunday by bombing Iran’s Larak Island. Washington said Iran had been preparing there to launch rockets loaded with naval mines toward the Strait of Hormuz. Two people died in that strike, according to the report.
