Kuwait intercepts missile, drone attacks, Bahrain activates siren

Kuwait has faced another round of missile and drone attacks late on Tuesday, while Bahrain announced that a warning siren had been sounded across the country.

State news agency KUNA reported the the Kuwaiti forces urged the public to follow safety instructions and avoid any debris or unidentified objects.

Meanwhile, the US Central Command shared that two Iranian missiles shot at Kuwait fell short or broke apart in flight, while several ballistic missiles aimed at regional targets failed and three missiles heading for Bahrain were intercepted.

Kuwait and Bahrain have yet to comment or confirm the CENTCOM's statement. 

Central Command said the US military also downed Iranian drones targeting civilian ships in regional waters and US forces in Kuwait, and carried out strikes on Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz following attempted attacks by Iran.

According to Iranian state media, the country's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) attacked the US Fifth Fleet headquarters, located in Bahrain, as well as an airbase and helicopters in an unspecified regional country using missiles and drones in response to what the IRGC described as a US attack on a communications tower south of Qeshm.

Central Command said all the attacks failed and that US forces remained ready to repel "unwarranted Iranian aggression".

Since the conflict began in late February, Iran has repeatedly attacked targets in the Gulf region where US military bases are located, with the latest including two Iranian attacks on Kuwait launched on May 28 and June 1. 

Iran and the US said last week that they had reached a tentative initial agreement to halt the war, but the two sides have yet to sign off on the deal.

Iranian media reported that Tehran has not communicated with Washington for several days, but US President Donald Trump said negotiations have not stopped.

"The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today," he said in a social media post.
