Kuwaiti army says air defences intercepting attacks from Iran The Kuwaiti army said the country's air defences are confronting "hostile" missile and drone attacks from Iran. It urged the public to "adhere to the security and safety instructions" issued by the relevant authorities.

The United Nations' Secretary-General expressed deep concern over recent strikes between the United States and Iran, particularly condemning the attacks on civilians. The UN spokesperson reported that a strike reportedly hit a wedding ceremony in Iran, resulting in civilian casualties.
