Kuwaiti Health Ministry announced on Monday that an Iranian attack on a residential area in northern Kuwait has injured six people, according to AFP.
“The total number of injuries rose to six, with varying degrees of wounds,” the ministry said.
The attack came after the Kuwaiti army posted on X earlier in the day that the country’s air defenses were actively engaged in intercepting incoming missiles and drones.
“Falling projectiles and debris in a residential area in the north of the country after an Iranian aggression,” the ministry said.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, targeting its leadership and triggering a new conflict in the Middle East. These strikes have killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and top security and defense officials in the country.
Iran has been responding with a retaliatory counterattack in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi as a retaliatory move, while launching barrages of missiles and drones toward Israel.
The conflict has spread across the Middle East, leaving thousands dead, triggering unprecedented disruptions to energy supplies especially after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
On Saturday, US President Donald Trump warned that Iran had only 48 hours to secure a deal on reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz or face what he described as “Hell”.
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Trump also noted that time is running out and “48 hours before all Hell will reign (sic) down on them,” adding: “Glory be to GOD!“
