Kuwait says it intercepts Iranian drones

Kuwait said on July 20, 2026 that it intercepted Iranian drones. Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said missile and drone strikes targeted US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, including a radar system and facilities at Kuwait's Ali Al Salem base, and claimed damage to US assets. Sirens sounded in Bahrain, where air defense systems intercepted and destroyed Iranian air attacks.
