The United States Central Command reported that its forces successfully intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles last night, which were aimed at American troops stationed in Kuwait.

According to a statement from the command, the missiles were immediately neutralized, and no American military personnel sustained injuries during the attack.

The Central Command emphasized its ongoing state of alertness and vigilance, affirming its commitment to protecting its forces from Iranian aggression while continuing to support the existing ceasefire agreement.

Earlier today, the Kuwaiti military announced that its air defenses had repelled hostile missile and drone attacks.

In response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that it targeted a US base from which an attack on a communications tower on Iran’s Sirik Island had been launched.

Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates condemned the Iranian attacks, describing them as undermining international efforts to restore security in the region.
