Meanwhile, the Kuwaiti army said that four soldiers were wounded in Iranian missile and drone attacks amid rising escalation between Iran and the US.
Citing Defence Ministry spokesman Saud Abdulaziz Al Atwan, the army said in a statement that its forces detected one ballistic missile, five cruise missiles, and 33 drones launched from Iran since Tuesday evening.
The army earlier said that its forces had engaged “hostile aerial targets” in the country’s airspace.
“Any explosion sounds that may be heard are the result of the air defence systems intercepting hostile attacks,” it added on X.
It called on people to follow safety instructions issued by authorities.
The Defence Ministry also urged citizens and residents to avoid approaching, touching, or photographing any debris resulting from the strikes.
The ministry called on citizens to refrain from publishing or sharing any photos or videos of the affected sites or the locations where shrapnel and interception debris fell on social media.
Tensions have escalated between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, with the two sides exchanging attacks despite a Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understanding aimed at ending their conflict and reaching a lasting peace agreement.
