The Gulf countries have been targeted by hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones since the beginning of the war, which was triggered by Israeli-US strikes on Iran on February 28.

Kuwait's defence ministry said in a statement that "Iranian aggression" had targeted several vital installations belonging to the National Guard, injuring some members.

It said they were receiving treatment and were in stable condition.

It added that the armed forces had "detected and intercepted, over the past 24 hours, seven hostile drones in Kuwaiti airspace".

The National Guard specified on X that some of its members had been wounded "in the line of duty at one of their sites" while others were wounded "while taking part in extinguishing a fire started by the drone attack".

It had said on Thursday that the attack targeted one of its sites and caused "significant damage".

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said, however, that they have not launched anything at any country since a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran took effect this week.
