Kuwait's army said its air defenses were confronting a renewed Iranian missile-and-drone attack early Saturday and that any explosion sounds were caused by interceptions. The statement followed an earlier Kuwaiti alert about hostile drones and came as Iran and the United States exchanged another overnight round of attacks. Bahrain's Interior Ministry sounded a fresh siren at 5:18 a.m. Israel time and urged citizens and residents to stay calm and move to the nearest safe place. The initial official notices did not report impacts, damage or casualties in either country.
