Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at Kuwait and Bahrain on Tuesday, the sharpest day of fire in the Gulf confrontation in weeks, NPR reported. U.S. and Bahraini defense systems intercepted the missiles aimed at Bahrain. Iran’s missiles toward Kuwait broke apart before completing their trajectories. U.S. Central Command said Iran “launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbours; however, all failed to hit their intended targets.” Kuwait’s international airport sustained damage in the strike, and Kuwaiti authorities reported injuries among airport staff.
