KUWAIT — Kuwait’s army said the country’s air defence systems were responding to what it described as hostile missile and drone attacks originating from Iran, according to Middle East Eye.
The military said Kuwaiti air defences were confronting both types of attack. The brief statement, as reported by the outlet, did not provide details about the number of missiles or drones involved, the locations targeted or the timing of the reported incidents.
No information was given on whether any of the missiles or drones had reached their intended targets. The available statement also did not report casualties, damage or the specific areas in which Kuwait’s air defence units were operating.
Kuwait’s army called on members of the public to comply with security and safety directions issued by the authorities responsible for the response. It did not set out the contents of those instructions in the material reported by Middle East Eye.
The military’s announcement identified Iran as the origin of the reported missile and drone attacks and characterised them as hostile. However, the report contained no further account of the circumstances surrounding the incidents or any additional official comments.
The available information did not specify which branches or units of Kuwait’s air defence network were engaged. It also did not state whether the military response was continuing, whether the reported attacks had ended or whether further public guidance would be issued.
The army’s public appeal focused on adherence to official safety and security instructions while air defences confronted the reported missile and drone threat. Further operational details were not included in the brief update published by Middle East Eye.
