Smoke rising from US embassy in Kuwait City
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBlack smoke is seen rising from the US embassy in Kuwait City after Iranian strikes, according to an AFP correspondent.
Sirens earlier sounded over the city following the latest volley of Iranian attacks, which started across the oil-rich Gulf region on Saturday.
The embassy does not announce it had been hit, but issues a security alert urging people to stay away.
“There is a continuing threat of missile and UAV attacks over Kuwait. Do not come to the embassy,” the statement says.
Kuwait’s interior ministry says it intercepted an unspecified number of drones targeting the small, oil-rich country at dawn.
