Kuwait intercepts hostile drones on third day of Iran retaliatory strikes

Kuwait intercepted hostile drones on Monday, the third consecutive day of Iranian retaliatory strikes on neighboring Gulf states in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic, Reuters reports.

No injuries were reported after Kuwait air defenses intercepted the majority of the drones near Rumaithiya and Salwa neighbourhoods, Reuters reported citing local media.

Tehran said it would target U.S. bases in the region after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Saturday.

A series of loud blasts was heard on Monday morning in Dubai and the Qatari capital of Doha, according to Reuters witnesses.

Loud bangs and sirens were heard earlier in Kuwait, according to Reuters witnesses.
