Kuwait's Armed Forces intercepted and destroyed drones that entered its airspace on Friday morning, adding there was material damage due to falling debris but no casualties.

In a statement posted by Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), Ministry of Defence's official spokesperson, Colonel Staff Saud Al-Atwan, said the continued Iranian aggression targeted several vital and military installations across the country.

It comes a day after an Iranian attack targeted a building belonging to a Chinese company in the north of the country, killing one worker and causing extensive material damage to the facility.
