Summary
Kuwait said its air defenses confronted an early Thursday missile-and-drone attack from Iran, marking a fresh escalation after fighting with the United States resumed.
The strike came after a month-long lull in the war and followed renewed U.S. bombardments that Tehran says included an attack killing 18 people, among them four civilians at a wedding.
Iran has cast the latest attacks as retaliation against U.S. forces in Kuwait and the UAE, while Kuwait described the barrage as hostile and said it intercepted the incoming threats.
The widening exchange already has spread beyond one front: Bahrain and Jordan reported intercepting Iranian air attacks a day earlier, underscoring the broader regional risk.
