Kuwait activates air defences against Iranian missile and drone attacks

Kuwait’s military announced on Sunday that the country’s air defence systems are currently intercepting missiles and hostile unmanned aircraft following Iranian attacks. The activation of the defensive systems came as part of a broader regional response to escalating tensions between Iran and its neighbours. Kuwait’s armed forces confirmed they were actively engaged in defending against the incoming threats, with multiple interceptions reported across the country. The small Gulf nation, which sits between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, has long been vulnerable to regional conflicts and maintains significant air defence capabilities to protect its population and critical infrastructure. The incident represents a significant escalation in the current cycle of regional tensions, with Iran’s attacks triggering immediate defensive responses across multiple countries in the Persian Gulf.
