Kuwait's armed forces said at 00:39 local time that the country's air defenses were actively engaging hostile Iranian drone attacks. The General Staff attributed the operation to renewed Iranian aggression and said any explosions heard by the public would be the result of interception activity. It asked everyone to comply with security and safety instructions issued by the competent authorities. Israeli reports published within minutes relayed the same military statement and likewise reported no casualties or damage in their initial notices.
