Earlier today, the Kuwait army announced that its air defences were intercepting hostile missile and drone threats, but did not say where they were coming from.

The army stated that any sounds of explosions heard in the country were the result of air-defence systems intercepting threats, and urged people to follow the security and safety instructions issued by the authorities.

The statement came after US strikes on what Washington said was an Iranian drone operation threatening US forces and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran confirmed the US attack and said it had targeted a US air base at 4.50am (0120 GMT) after what it described as an early morning US strike near Bandar Abbas airport. It did not say where the base was.
