Bahrain and Kuwait face incoming missiles after U.S. strikes on Iran

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Kuwait said Wednesday its air defenses are engaged to intercept incoming fire after the United States launched airstrikes targeting Iran.

Kuwait’s announcement via its military came after Bahrain also said it faced incoming missiles Wednesday morning.

There was no word on what, if anything, had been struck in either country.

Bahrain and Kuwait previously have been targeted by Iranian attacks in other violence shaking the interim deal struck between Iran and the U.S. to end the war.
