The Kuwaiti army said its air defences had intercepted hostile missile and drone attacks following what it described as “the sinful Iranian aggression”.

A statement from the Kuwaiti General Staff said that “if explosions are heard, they are the result of air defence systems intercepting hostile attacks”.

In Bahrain, the Interior Ministry warned of “a danger”, urging citizens and residents to remain calm and move to the nearest safe place.

Meanwhile, Iran claimed that drones had targeted “radar facilities and gathering points for US forces at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain”.

It vowed that Iranian forces “will take harsh revenge on the aggressors that will make them regret it”.
