Kuwait and Qatar thwart fresh wave of Iranian attacks

Kuwait and Qatar reported intercepting multiple Iranian attacks.

Kuwait announced that its Armed Forces destroyed 12 drones and 14 missiles fired from Iran.

Two missiles landed outside the threat zone, while drone attacks targeted northern and central Kuwait and missiles struck the south, causing only material damage.

Explosions heard across the country were part of the interception operations, a Kuwait Army spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, Qatar said it faced waves of Iranian drone attacks from dawn Friday to early Saturday.

The Armed Forces intercepted nine of the ten drones, with one hitting an uninhabited area without causing casualties.

Qatar’s Ministry of Defence affirmed the country has full capabilities to protect its sovereignty and respond to any external threat.
