Iran’s army said its navy had launched a wave of drone attacks targeting Israel as well as US bases in the UAE and Kuwait, as the regional war raged into its second week, AFP reports.

“The Iranian Navy targeted American bases and occupied territories with a massive wave of drone attacks,” the army said in a statement carried by the official IRNA news agency.

It said the targets included the UAE’s Al Minhad base and another in Kuwait, as well as a “strategic facility” in Israel.
