Kuwait's General Staff said overnight that air defenses were responding to hostile drone attacks amid what it called Iranian aggression. The military said any explosions heard across the country were caused by air-defense systems intercepting hostile targets, and it instructed the public to follow official safety and security guidance. The announcement did not specify the number or origin of the drones. It also provided no immediate information on damage or casualties, leaving the scale and outcome of the latest attack unclear as regional fighting continued.
