Kuwait’s military has said that its air defences are working to intercept missiles and drones, as Tehran continued its campaign in the Gulf in response to US-Israeli strikes, AFP reports.

“Kuwaiti Air Defences are currently responding to hostile missile and drone threats,” the Kuwaiti army posted on X, adding that any explosions heard were the result of air defence interceptions.

An Iranian drone attack had also caused “significant” damage to a government building in Kuwait City on Saturday evening, a finance ministry statement said, adding there were no reports of deaths or injuries.

Staff from several ministries housed in the complex would work remotely on Sunday, and visits would be suspended, the statement said.
