Iran missile and drone attacks hit Kuwait and Bahrain, fire at Kuwait power plant

Kuwait’s and Bahrain’s defence ministries confirmed that they intercepted multiple rounds of missiles and drones launched from Iran, describing the assaults as coordinated strikes that targeted the two Gulf states. Both countries reported that their air defence systems successfully neutralised the projectiles, preventing any casualties or damage to critical infrastructure. The attacks, which occurred within a short span of time, were part of a broader pattern of Iranian aerial activity aimed at regional adversaries, prompting heightened alert levels across the Gulf Cooperation Council.

In neighboring Jordan, authorities activated civil defence sirens after detecting aerial threats, although no direct attacks were reported on Jordanian territory. The sirens, intended to warn residents to seek shelter, underscore the spill‑over concerns among neighboring states as tensions rise in the region. Officials in all three countries emphasized continued vigilance and cooperation with allied forces to safeguard civilian populations and maintain security amid the escalating hostilities.
