Kuwait's military confirmed intercepting a missile and drone attack attributed to Iran, according to local media. The defense forces activated their air defenses to counter the incoming threats. The incident occurred near the border with Iraq, where tensions have been rising in recent weeks.
Iran's health ministry spokesman announced that the death toll from US attacks has increased to 18, including a child. The statement came amid ongoing regional instability and heightened military activity. Officials in Tehran have not yet issued a formal response to Kuwait's claims.
The situation highlights the growing complexity of regional security dynamics. Both countries have been involved in a series of confrontations, with each side accusing the other of escalating hostilities. Analysts suggest the incident could further strain already fragile diplomatic relations.
No official confirmation has been provided by Iran regarding the casualties reported by its health ministry. The situation remains under close monitoring by international observers.
