Kuwait's army reported on May 28, 2026, that its air defense systems intercepted hostile missiles and drones, amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. The statement did not specify the origin of the projectiles, but regional media linked the attack to ongoing US-Iran conflict.
The incident comes after US strikes on Iranian positions, though details of those strikes remain unverified. Bandar Abbas, a key Iranian port, has been mentioned in some reports as a potential site of activity, but no confirmed attacks on that location have been reported.
Kuwait has not reported any casualties or damage from the intercepted threats. The country's military remains on high alert, coordinating with international partners to ensure security.
