Qatar's Defense Ministry said a drone hit a cargo ship arriving from Abu Dhabi in Qatari waters, causing a limited fire and no injuries, and Qatar called for an investigation. Kuwait said hostile drones entered its airspace at dawn and the UAE said it intercepted two drones launched from Iran; the UAE blamed Iran, and nobody immediately claimed the attacks.
Why it matters
The attacks reached Qatari waters and Kuwait, widening the Gulf states under fire during the truce.
