Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 0 tied to no party.
The IRGC said, via Fars, that it struck a base it said the US had used to attack a communications tower in Sirik, Hormozgan province, without naming the base, and claimed the targets were destroyed. Kuwait's state news agency KUNA said air defences intercepted missiles and drones as sirens sounded across the country, and the Kuwaiti foreign ministry condemned the attacks. CENTCOM said US aircraft had struck Iranian air defences, a ground control station and two attack drones over the weekend after Iran shot down a US MQ-1 drone, and that no US troops were hurt. No casualties were reported in Kuwait.
