Kuwait’s air defences intercept missiles and drones in new attack

Kuwait’s military announced on Wednesday that the country’s air defence systems are currently engaged in intercepting hostile missiles and unmanned aircraft. The statement from the armed forces indicated an ongoing operation to counter what officials described as enemy aerial threats targeting the Gulf state. Details about the origin of the attack or the scale of the assault were not immediately provided in the initial announcement. The incident marks another security incident for Kuwait, which has faced periodic threats from various armed groups and state actors in the volatile Middle Eastern region. Kuwait’s air defence infrastructure, which includes advanced radar and missile systems, has been upgraded in recent years to address evolving aerial threats in the Gulf.
