The US launched attacks on Iranian radar and drone command and control sites in Goruk and Iran’s Qeshm Island over the weekend, the US Middle East Command (Centcom) announced late yesterday.
The strikes were in response to aggressive Iranian actions that included the shooting down of a US MQ-1 drone operating over international waters, Centcom said in a post on X.
The latter highlighted that a US fighter jet took out air defence systems, a ground control station and two drone checkpoints.
Centcom suggested that no US military personnel were injured.
Note that, Kuwait’s air defense intercepted missile and drone attacks this morning, while air defense sirens sounded across the country.
Kuwait’s military said this morning it was facing a “hostile attack” with missiles and drones, the second such attack in less than a week against this Gulf country.
“All explosion sounds are the result of the air defence systems intercepting these enemy attacks,” the military said in a post on X.
It did not specify the origin of this attack.
On Thursday, Kuwait reported a similar attack, which it later attributed to Iran, where the Revolutionary Guards said it targeted a US base in retaliation for new US airstrikes on Iranian territory.
