Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKuwait says its air defenses are intercepting a wave of Iranian drones launched since 8 a.m. (0500 GMT), according to the army. The army says some drones targeted vital oil facilities, power stations and water desalination plants, causing major infrastructure damage.
At the same time the Ministry of Defense of the United Arab Emirates says its own air defenses are “engaging with missile and drone attacks originating from Iran.”
