US Central Command (Centcom) said “an additional wave of Iranian drones” attempted to target US forces in Kuwait, but the attack was unsuccessful after American air defence systems intercepted the aircraft.
Centcom said it “downed multiple drones and ensured no American personnel or assets were harmed”.
The reported attack followed claims by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that it had targeted US military assets in Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for a US strike on Qeshm Island.
Earlier, Centcom said it had conducted a “self-defence” strike against an Iranian ground control station on the island.
