Kuwait says it detected 30 ballistic missiles and drones launched as part of a “heinous Iranian aggression”, AFP reports.

“Since dawn today, the armed forces have detected and engaged 13 hostile ballistic missiles within Kuwaiti airspace. These missiles were intercepted over several residential areas, resulting in some debris falling,” defence ministry spokesman Saud Abdulaziz al-Atwan says.

“The armed forces also detected and engaged 17 hostile drones. This heinous Iranian aggression targeted civilian and vital facilities.”
