Kuwait City, Kuwait, June 1 (AFP) Jun 01, 2026
Kuwait's air defences intercepted missile and drone attacks, the military said Monday, with the country later blaming Iran.

"The General Staff of the Army wishes to advise that any sounds of explosions heard are the result of air defence systems intercepting these hostile attacks," the army said in a post on X.

The foreign ministry later said in a statement that it was "holding Iran fully responsible for these heinous attacks".

KUNA, the state news agency, reported that air raid sirens sounded across the Gulf nation, which is a US ally. The attacks come despite a ceasefire in place between the United States and Iran.
