Iran fired several ballistic missiles and drones towards Kuwait on Friday, Kuwait's military stated in an X/Twitter post citing Kuwaiti Defense Ministry Spokesperson Maj.-Gen. Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi.
Several Kuwaiti soldiers were wounded by falling shrapnel from intercepted aerial targets, according to the statement.
Multiple sites were hit by the Iranian attack, including a power station, water desalination plant, and other civilian infrastructure, with reports of fires and material damage.
Kuwait's military noted that no civilians were wounded in Iran's attack, which caused additional damage across the country through falling shrapnel from intercepted missiles and drones.
Earlier on Friday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for previous strikes on Kuwait, claiming it had targeted US military facilities, according to a report by Iran's semi-official Mehr News.
The IRGC also claimed that it had struck and damaged a US military drone depot in Bahrain in response to US strikes last night.
Iranian official warns Tehran may initiate 'full-scale offensive operations' in response to US strikes
On Friday, advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mohsen Rezaei threatened that Tehran will “move into a phase of full-scale offensive operations” if the US continues strikes against Iran for “several more days,” during an interview with Iran’s State TV.
He also warned that if the US attempts to seize any locations, Iran may engage in an “offensive war instead of a defensive one.”
