The Kuwaiti military said Wednesday that its air defense systems were responding to missile and drone attacks targeting the country.

In a statement posted on social media platform X, the General Staff of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces said air defense units were currently engaging hostile targets.

The military said that any explosions heard across the country were the result of air defense systems intercepting incoming threats.

It urged the public to adhere to safety and security instructions issued by relevant authorities and to rely on official sources for information.

No immediate details were provided regarding the origin of the attacks, the number of missiles or drones involved, or any potential damage or casualties.
