Kuwait's air defense systems intercepted what the military described as "hostile missile and drone attacks" on Monday, as air raid sirens sounded across the country.
In a statement posted on its official X account, the Kuwaiti Army's General Staff said the explosions heard in several areas were caused by air defense systems engaging and intercepting incoming threats.
"The General Staff of the Army wishes to advise that any sounds of explosions heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting these hostile attacks," the statement said.
Meanwhile, the state-run Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported that air raid sirens were activated nationwide despite the ceasefire currently in effect between the US and Iran.
