KUWAIT CITY: Explosions were heard in Kuwait City on Tuesday, an AFP journalist reported, as the Gulf nation’s army announced for the second time in less than half an hour that it was intercepting “hostile” targets.
“The General Staff of the Kuwait Armed Forces announces that any explosions are the result of the Air Defense systems intercepting hostile attacks,” the army said in its statements, without providing further details.
Iran has launched repeated attacks on Kuwait and other US-allied Gulf countries in recent days in response to US strikes.
The latest exchanges of fire have been triggered by Iran attacking commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
There were no immediate details or reports of casualties or damage from Tuesday’s attack on Kuwait.
