Kuwait’s military confirmed on June 10 that its air defense forces were actively engaging “hostile aerial targets” inside the country’s airspace, with sirens blaring across Kuwait City as interceptions of drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles played out overhead.
What happened in Kuwait
The Kuwaiti Army’s General Staff announced that air defense systems were intercepting multiple hostile targets during the early morning hours. The threats included a mix of drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles, prompting authorities to issue safety alerts across the capital.
Initial reports indicated no major casualties or significant damage from the engagements.
The incident fits into a broader pattern of escalating military confrontations tied to the ongoing conflict between US and Iranian forces in the region. Kuwait has been reporting similar aerial threats since late February, with strikes attributed to Iranian forces targeting both US and Kuwaiti interests in the area.
