Kuwait says fire 'under control' after Iranian attacks, as IRGC claims strikes on US facilities

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it attacked several bases across the region, including the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, where it claimed it "killed a number of enemy elements". In the statement, the IRGC said it carried out a combined missile and drone attack on the military base in Kuwait hosting US forces, adding that it targeted the headquarters and residence of the American commander of the base. It added that the attack destroyed several US drones and set fire to a drone hangar and a ramp through which UAVs participated in strikes on Iran. "What is painful and worrying for us is the occupation of Islamic lands by the child-killing and terrorist army of America," the IRGC said. "These attacks are to help you cleanse the pure land and homeland of the righteous, Kuwait, from the filth of the American infidels." Meanwhile, Kuwait's official KUNA news agency said that an Iranian drone attack caused a fire in a residential complex. "A fire that broke out in a residential complex in the Capital Governorate has been brought under control. The complex had been targeted by a hostile drone launched as part of the nefarious Iranian aggression," a fire department spokesperson was quoted as saying, adding there were no casualties.
