Persian Gulf states reported a new wave of drone and missile attacks Sunday morning.
Kuwait’s military said Sunday local time that a “wave of hostile drones” targeted a fuel depot at Kuwait International Airport, and debris and debris from the intercept damaged some civilian infrastructure. The military also intercepted a number of ballistic missiles, state media said.
According to state media, the building of Kuwait’s public social security institution has been hit by a drone attack. Footage geolocated by CNN showed the approximately 22-story building going up in flames in the early morning hours. State media said no one was injured.
State media reported on Sunday morning that two Kuwaiti border guards were killed “while performing their national duty,” but gave no other details. It is unclear whether the incident is related to strikes at airports or government buildings.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense also announced that it had intercepted at least 21 drones and survived a drone attack early Sunday morning.
A fire at a facility in Bahrain’s Mina Salman port, opposite the King Fahd Causeway, was caused by “Iranian aggression,” the Interior Ministry said, adding that emergency services were working to extinguish it.
The UAE’s air defense forces are “currently responding to a missile threat,” the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority said in a post on X early Sunday.
The various drone and missile attacks came after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday apologized to Gulf states for last week’s drone and missile attacks on US military bases in the region and said Iran would stop attacking neighboring countries unless attacked.
Mr. Pezeshikian’s office later clarified that he meant, “If regional countries do not cooperate with U.S. attacks, we will not attack them.”
