Kuwaiti armed forces said Friday that an Iranian attack on National Guard facilities caused injuries and major damage, adding that it engaged seven “hostile” drones in 24 hours.
In a statement, the Defense Ministry said the Iranian assault targeted several vital facilities affiliated with the National Guard, resulting in injuries among some personnel and significant material damage.
It added that the injured are currently receiving treatment and are in stable condition.
The armed forces monitored and dealt with 7 hostile drones within Kuwaiti airspace over the past 24 hours.
Iran targeted seven Arab countries, most of them in the Gulf, with at least 6,413 missiles and drones, in addition to an attack involving two fighter jets over the past 41 days, including the first and second days of a Washington-Tehran ceasefire, according to an Anadolu tally.
The attacks continued through the first and second days of the truce, based on Anadolu’s monitoring and compilation of official data as of 2155GMT Thursday.
Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 3,000 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Iran has also restricted the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
