Kuwait’s air defense systems are currently responding to hostile missile and drone threats, according to a statement issued by the General Staff of the Army in the early hours of Wednesday.

Military officials said that any explosion sounds heard across the country may be the result of air defense systems intercepting incoming targets.

The General Staff called on residents to remain vigilant and comply with all security and safety directives issued by the relevant authorities.

No additional details regarding the nature of the threats or any potential impact have been released at this time. Authorities are expected to provide further updates as the situation develops.
