Kuwait, Bahrain air defenses respond to 'hostile' missile, drone threats - Anadolu Ajansı

On 6 June 2026, air defences in Kuwait and Bahrain responded to missile and drone attacks, and air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain. The US military said Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain, and that the US intercepted Iranian missiles and drones. It was the second attack on the two countries in a matter of days, during a fragile US-Iran truce.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they targeted US bases in the Gulf, including the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, in response to US attacks. The missiles came after the US struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites, and Iran said the US had violated the ceasefire. The UAE condemned the Iranian attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait.
