Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense reported that several members of the National Guard were injured in a drone attack on Sunday, which triggered a response from the country’s air defense systems. The ministry stated that the attack targeted vital National Guard installations, resulting in injuries to personnel who are currently receiving medical treatment and are in stable condition.

According to an official statement from the ministry, the incident forms part of broader hostilities in the region, noting that “regional countries have been targeted by hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones” since the conflict escalated following Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran on February 28. The statement described the recent drone strikes as acts of “Iranian aggression.”

In the 24 hours following the attack, Kuwaiti armed forces reportedly detected and intercepted seven hostile drones attempting to enter Kuwaiti airspace. The National Guard provided additional details via its official social media account, indicating some members were wounded “in the line of duty at one of their sites,” while others sustained injuries while helping to extinguish fires caused by the drone strike.

No further information was provided regarding the extent of the damage to infrastructure or any additional security measures being undertaken. The events underscore heightened regional tensions and Kuwait’s vulnerability to cross-border drone attacks amid ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
