Balls of fire lit up the night sky over Kuwait as missile and drone attacks were intercepted, while air raid sirens echoed across the region, signaling a fresh escalation despite a fragile ceasefire.
According to United States military officials, Iran launched seven ballistic missiles targeting the Gulf nations of Kuwait and Bahrain. The attack came just hours after US forces reported intercepting four Iranian one-way attack drones.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that six of the seven ballistic missiles were successfully intercepted, while the seventh failed to reach its intended target.
Despite the renewed exchange of attacks, US President Donald Trump expressed confidence about the situation, telling reporters that developments involving Iran “seem to be going quite well.”
Trump also claimed that Iran has only 21 percent of its missile arsenal remaining, suggesting that Tehran has limited options as the conflict enters its fourth month. The latest developments underscore the continuing volatility in the region, with concerns mounting over the potential for further escalation despite ongoing ceasefire efforts.
