RIYADH: Kuwait said it was dealing with aerial threats and Bahrain activated air raid sirens early Thursday after a night of clashes between the US and Iran threatened to reignite the Middle East war.
The Kuwaiti army said, in a post on social media, that “air defense systems are currently intercepting hostile aerial targets.”
The Gulf nation also shut its airspace for a temporary period and diverted flights due to the attacks.
Bahraini authorities set off sirens and told the public to shelter in a safe place.
It is the second night in a row that Kuwait and Bahrain had been targeted. Jordan was also attacked early Wednesday morning.
