Kuwait's air defences engaged drones targeting "vital facilities" on Thursday night and KUNA said a National Guard site suffered material damage; the Foreign Ministry blamed Iran and its proxies, and the army later said it dealt with seven drones from Iran in 24 hours that targeted National Guard-linked facilities, injuring personnel. The IRGC denied attacking Gulf states on Thursday and said any such strike was "the work of the Zionist enemy or America."
Why it matters
The accusation added strain on the truce two days before the Islamabad talks.
