Kuwait Says Two Naval Servicemen Killed in US-Iran War
(MENAFN) Kuwait has reported the deaths of two naval servicemen, marking the Gulf state's first confirmed military losses since hostilities erupted between the United States and Iran.
The General Staff of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces confirmed the casualties in an official statement Monday, disclosing that Sgt. Walid Majid Suleiman "was martyred while on duty" — the military's initial acknowledgment that the widening regional conflict had claimed Kuwaiti lives.
A subsequent announcement from the armed forces confirmed a second fatality: Sgt. Abdulaziz Abdulmohsen Dakhel Nasser, also a member of the naval forces, was killed Monday evening while, in the military's words, performing his national duties.
No additional information was provided regarding the specific circumstances surrounding either death, leaving unanswered questions about where and how the two servicemen were killed.
The losses come as Kuwait finds itself increasingly drawn into a conflict it did not initiate. Regional tensions ignited Saturday when U.S. and Israeli forces launched a sweeping military assault on Iran, killing several of the country's top officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — an operation whose shockwaves have since rippled across the Gulf, pulling neighboring states deeper into the crossfire.
