Bahrain, Kuwait say they are being attacked by Iran
The militaries of Bahrain and Kuwait said Tuesday they are defending their countries against fresh attacks by Iran.
The Bahrain Defence Force said it “confronted, intercepted, and destroyed a number of treacherous Iranian aerial attacks” on Tuesday, and that “Iran continues its systematic hostile approach through its sinful attacks targeting civilians in the Kingdom of Bahrain.”
Kuwait’s Army said in a statement on X that “Kuwaiti air defenses are currently confronting hostile missile and drone attacks, following the sinful Iranian aggression.”
“The General Staff of the Army notes that if explosion sounds are heard, they are the result of the air defense systems intercepting the hostile attacks,” it added.
