UPDATE 2-Kuwait's army says it has intercepted hostile drones over airspace

​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.
