Kuwait's military said its air defenses were intercepting hostile Iranian missiles and drones early Tuesday after Tehran launched a fresh barrage. Sirens sounded across the country, and the General Staff said explosions heard by residents were caused by defensive interceptions. The military urged citizens and residents to follow official security and safety instructions while the engagement continued. The public alert described the launches as part of Iranian aggression against Kuwait but did not provide a projectile count or report casualties or damage.
