Kuwait Activates Air Defenses Against Missile and Drone Threats

Kuwait's armed forces activated air defense systems Thursday to counter what officials described as hostile missile and drone threats in the region. The country's military confirmed that explosions heard were the result of defensive interception operations, though it did not identify the source of the attacks.

The incident follows escalating Middle East tensions, with U.S. military forces conducting overnight strikes on a military site. Pentagon officials indicated the targeted site presented a threat to American forces and posed risks to commercial maritime operations transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
