Kuwait Rushes to Repel Missile, Drone Attacks
(MENAFN) Kuwait declared Wednesday that its military is actively engaged in air defense operations after projectiles entered its sovereign airspace, marking a dramatic escalation in the widening regional conflict sparked by a joint US-Israeli assault on Iran.
The country's Defense Ministry disclosed in a statement posted to X that its armed forces "are currently dealing with a wave of missiles and drones" detected in the country's airspace, citing the nation's General Staff of the Armed Forces.
Military units have been deployed "to intercept and counter" those missiles and drones, the ministry confirmed, offering no further operational details. In a show of resolve, the General Staff stressed its posture in unambiguous terms: "The General Staff affirms full readiness to address all threats" to safeguard the country's territory and airspace, and "the safety of its residents and citizens."
No information has been released identifying the origin of the projectiles.
The attack follows a seismic shift in regional dynamics after Washington and Tel Aviv launched a sweeping offensive against Iran on Saturday, killing nearly 800 people — among them Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Tehran has since mounted retaliatory strikes deploying drones and missiles against both Israel and Gulf states hosting US military assets, setting off a chain of confrontations now reaching Kuwaiti skies.
The Defense Ministry has yet to issue further updates on the scope or outcome of the ongoing interception operations.
