Kuwait air defenses activated after "hostile" missile and drone attacks

Kuwaiti air defenses have been activated to confront “hostile” missile and drone attacks, the Gulf nation’s army said early Thursday local time.

“The General Staff of the Army notes that any explosion sounds heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting the hostile attacks,” the Kuwait Army said in a post on X.

The statement did not say where the attacks were coming from.

State news agency KUNA also reported sirens blasted in the country.
