Iran's army said Friday that it launched the 25th phase of Operation Thunderbolt, sending Arash one-way attack drones toward three U.S. bases in Kuwait. Its official channel named al-Doha, al-Udairi and Arifjan as the targets. The statement said the drones were aimed at U.S. equipment warehouses at al-Udairi and troop positions at al-Doha and Arifjan, describing the wave as retaliation for continued American strikes on Iran. Neither the United States nor Kuwait had publicly confirmed impacts, damage or casualties when the reports were published.
