Iranian forces launched a barrage of missiles and drones at Kuwait on July 14-15, damaging vital civilian facilities and injuring four armed forces members. Kuwait’s Defense Ministry confirmed its military intercepted 39 aerial threats in the latest wave, including one ballistic missile, five cruise missiles, and 33 drones.
What happened in Kuwait
The attack unfolded over two days. On July 14, Iranian forces fired a combination of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at critical infrastructure inside Kuwait. The following day, Kuwaiti forces intercepted an additional four cruise missiles and 21 drones.
All four injured military personnel are reportedly in stable condition. No fatalities were reported from this particular wave of strikes.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility, framing the operation as retaliatory following US military actions in the region. Earlier strikes in June 2026 targeted Kuwait International Airport with ballistic missiles and drones, causing casualties and damage at one of the Gulf’s busiest aviation hubs.
