Kuwait says air defenses intercept missiles, drones

KUWAIT CITY, July 8 — Kuwait’s air defense systems intercepted hostile missiles and drones early on Wednesday, the General Staff of the Kuwaiti Army said.

In a statement posted on social media platform X, the Kuwaiti military said any explosions heard by residents were the result of air defense systems intercepting “hostile targets,” urging the public to follow safety and security instructions issued by the relevant authorities.
