The Abdali border crossing, Kuwait’s northern land port with Iraq, was attacked by drones, resulting in material damage but no casualties. The Ministry of Defence’s Official Spokesman, Major General Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, confirmed the incident. Immediate response teams were deployed to secure the site in collaboration with relevant authorities. The Land Force’s inspection and disposal teams are working to clear the area of drone remnants to ensure safety.
Iran conducted retaliatory strikes targeting US bases and assets in Kuwait and Jordan. The attacks caused personnel casualties and significant military losses. Iranian forces destroyed a military equipment warehouse, a Patriot air defence system, and MQ-9 Reaper drones hangar at the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. The Iranian army also targeted US bases in Jordan, damaging a Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-missile system and fuel storage facilities.
