Kuwait's army says it has intercepted hostile drones over airspace


DUBAI, May ⁠10 (Reuters) - Kuwait’s army said ⁠it had detected and dealt ‌with several hostile drones in the country’s airspace at dawn on ​Sunday, the latest ⁠incident following similar ⁠cross‑border drone activity linked to ⁠the ‌Iran conflict.

On April 25, Kuwait's army ⁠said two drones launched from Iraq ​had ‌targeted two northern border posts, ⁠causing ​damage.

Its air defences also dealt with a wave of ⁠Iranian drones on April ​8 that targeted vital infrastructure.

While hostilities during the conflict have ⁠largely been scaled down since a ceasefire came into effect in April, drones ​have been launched ⁠from Iraq towards Gulf countries, ​including Saudi Arabia ‌and Kuwait.
