Kuwait's military said an Iranian strike hit a building belonging to a Chinese company in the country's north on Thursday morning, killing one worker and causing severe material damage. Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Saud Abdulaziz al-Atwan said authorities began responding immediately after the attack. The strike followed a renewed U.S. attack wave against Iranian Revolutionary Guard command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal defenses and other military targets. Iran's repeated attacks on Gulf states have widened the regional conflict beyond Israel and U.S. forces, hitting civilian and strategic sites in countries that host American personnel.
