Sharjah 24: Kuwait’s air defence systems intercepted four ballistic missiles and 23 unmanned aerial vehicles over the past 24 hours, the Ministry of Defence said on Wednesday as regional tensions continued to escalate.

Speaking during a media briefing organised by the Government Communication Centre, the ministry’s spokesman, Colonel Saud Al Atwan, said the Kuwaiti Armed Forces had successfully detected and dealt with incoming threats within designated operational areas.

He added that three additional drones came down outside the danger zone without causing any material damage.
