On June 28, local time, the Kuwait military announced via X (formerly Twitter) that it is intercepting enemy aerial targets and urged residents to follow safety instructions from authorities.
So far, there have been no confirmed casualties or significant damage to facilities. The identity of the attackers has not been officially confirmed.
However, given Iran's claims of retaliation for a U.S. ceasefire agreement violation, there are concerns that Iranian or pro-Iranian armed groups may be involved.
Previously, the U.S. conducted airstrikes on Iranian military facilities in response to an attack on a civilian vessel passing through the Strait of Hormuz on June 25.
In retaliation, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have attacked U.S. military bases in Bahrain and other parts of the Middle East.
Following an attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on June 27, the U.S. launched additional airstrikes against Iran. With the potential for further Iranian retaliation, tensions in the Middle East are escalating as Kuwait activates its air defense system.
