Kuwaiti air defences intercept missile, drone attack

Kuwait's army said on Thursday that its air defences had intercepted missiles and drones but did not say where they came from.

The army said any sounds of explosions heard in the country were the result of air-defence systems intercepting the attacks.

Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they targeted a US airbase at 0450 local time after what they described as an early morning US attack near Bandar Abbas airport, Tasnim news agency reported.

The IRGC did not say where the base was.

They warned that any repeat of what they called aggression would draw a "more decisive" response and said responsibility for the consequences lay with the "aggressor".
