Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense announced on April 9 that its air defense forces are actively responding to attacks from hostile drones. This statement comes shortly after a ceasefire was declared between Iran and the United States on April 8.
The ministry confirmed that the air defense systems were engaged in countering the drones that had entered Kuwaiti airspace. Specific details regarding the nature of the attacks remain unclear, although a spokesperson indicated that the drones were targeting “vital facilities.” The ownership of the drones has not been disclosed.
Kuwaiti armed forces are maintaining a heightened state of readiness to counter any further assaults, as previously reported in official communications from the Ministry of Defense. Since the initiation of operations against Iran, Kuwait has intercepted a total of 793 missiles and drones.
Kuwait's defense forces are responding to drone attacks, highlighting ongoing regional tensions following a recent ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. The situation underscores the heightened military readiness in the region.
