Iran fires missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait in fresh attacks

Gulf nations report missile and drone attacks as Iran vowed to press on with strikes against neighboring countries.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait all report new attacks.

Kuwait’s national oil company announces a “precautionary” cut to its crude production, as the country’s military says it responded to several drone and missile attacks.

Fuel tanks at Kuwait’s international airport were targeted in a drone attack, the military adds.

The official Kuwait News Agency says a fire at the airport was brought under control, reporting no “significant injuries.”

The military calls the drone attack “a direct targeting of vital infrastructure.”

A separate statement says “some civilian facilities sustained material damage as a result of falling fragments and debris from interception operations.”

The Kuwaiti interior ministry says two border guards “were martyred… while performing their national duty,” without elaborating. It is not clear whether their deaths were the result of an Iranian attack.

The UAE’s defense ministry says air defenses were responding to “incoming missile and drone threats from Iran,” while Bahrain’s interior ministry says air raid sirens were activated.

Qatar’s defense ministry says that the country was targeted a day earlier by 10 ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles fired from Iran, but most of them were intercepted and caused no casualties.

Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry also reports intercepting and destroying 15 drones that entered the kingdom’s airspace, including an attempted attack at the diplomatic quarter in the capital Riyadh.
