Kuwait’s air defence systems intercepted 28 Iranian drones starting from 05:00 GMT, Defence Ministry spokesman Colonel Saud Abdulaziz al-Otaibi said.
He described the incident as “an intense wave of hostile Iranian criminal attacks,” noting that a large number of the drones were shot down.
According to him, some drones targeted vital oil facilities and power stations in the southern part of the country, causing significant material damage to oil infrastructure, electricity facilities and water desalination plants.
Following a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran that brought an end to 40 days of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, Iranian drones struck Kuwait’s oil and power facilities at that time.
On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the ceasefire agreement does not cover Lebanon. Since the deal took effect, Israel has carried out numerous attacks on multiple locations across southern Lebanon.
