Kuwaiti authorities have announced that six people have been injured from falling projectiles and shrapnel on one of the residential areas north of the country after an Iranian attack.

Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported that emergency first-responders were immediately dispatched to the scene.

Earlier, Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense reported that in the past 24 hours, 9 ballistic missiles, 4 cruise missiles, and 31 drones were intercepted. 

The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posed a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East.
