Kuwait's army said its air defenses were engaging hostile drones at 1:25 a.m. Israel and Kuwait time, following what it described as Iranian aggression. The General Staff said any explosion sounds were caused by air-defense systems intercepting the incoming attack and urged residents to follow official safety instructions. The initial notice did not identify the number or type of drones, their targets, launch points or any impact sites. It also reported no casualties or damage and gave no all-clear or timetable for ending the defensive response.
