Mideast live: Kuwait army says intercepting missile, drone attack from Iran

Kuwait's military has intercepted a missile and drone attack from Iran. According to Kuwait's military, its air defense systems are working to intercept the missiles and drones as part of what it described as "Iranian aggression".

The attack is reportedly in response to US military action against Iran. Iran's state broadcaster, IRIB, said the attacks targeted US military bases in Kuwait, as well as in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region.

Local sources told IRIB that a US base in Kuwait had been struck, with smoke rising from the site, although neither the US nor Kuwait have confirmed this. Kuwait, along with Jordan and Bahrain, were targeted by Iran in a previous wave of attacks following US military action against Iran.
