Friday 27 - 14:45

Kuwait’s strategic Mubarak Al‑Kabeer Port was targeted early Friday in a coordinated attack involving drones and cruise missiles, according to official statements from local authorities.

Preliminary assessments indicated that the strike caused material damage to infrastructure but resulted in no casualties. Emergency response systems were immediately activated, with relevant agencies working together to contain the situation and assess the extent of the damage.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the region, where several countries have reported similar threats involving aerial attacks. Kuwaiti defense officials confirmed that air defense systems successfully intercepted multiple incoming projectiles, preventing more severe consequences.

Authorities described the attack as part of a broader pattern of escalating hostilities affecting the Gulf region. In recent weeks, Kuwait and other neighboring countries have faced repeated incidents involving drones and ballistic missiles, raising concerns over regional stability and security.

While investigations are ongoing, officials have emphasized their readiness to respond to any further threats and to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure.
