Kuwait says intercepted missiles targeting base housing US personnel

Kuwait's defense ministry said its forces intercepted missiles targeting a miliary base hosting U.S. and other foreign personnel, as Iran wages retaliatory strikes on U.S. assets in the Gulf after U.S. and Israeli attacks.

"Ali Al Salem Air Base was targeted by a number of ballistic missiles. This morning, the Kuwaiti Air Defence Force successfully intercepted them," said defence ministry spokesman Colonel Saud Abdulaziz Al-Atwan.
