Kuwait’s military said it was responding to “hostile” missile and drone attacks, days after a strike on the country’s international airport killed one and wounded dozens, AFP reports.

“Kuwaiti air defenses are currently responding to hostile missile and drone attacks,” the military said on X, without specifying their origin.

“The General Staff of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces confirms that any explosions that may be heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting hostile attacks,” the Kuwait Army added.
