On Thursday, Kuwait's armed forces reported the activation of air defenses due to perceived hostile threats, specifically missile and drone attacks. Although the source of these threats was not disclosed, the military indicated that any explosion sounds were linked to the interception of these attacks.
This development occurs against a backdrop of heightened tensions in the region, exacerbated by recent U.S. military actions in Iran. A U.S. official confirmed that overnight strikes targeted a military site in Iran, which was believed to pose risks to U.S. personnel and commercial shipping in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as the geopolitical landscape evolves
