Kuwait's army said its air defenses were engaging a new wave of hostile Iranian missiles and drones on Sunday morning. The General Staff said explosion sounds, if heard, resulted from air-defense interceptions and urged residents to follow official safety instructions. The military statement and two contemporaneous reports did not identify the number or type of incoming weapons, their intended targets, or any impact sites. No casualties, damage assessment or all-clear had been announced in the initial verified updates, which followed repeated Iranian attacks on Gulf states during the renewed U.S.-Iran fighting.
