It said explosions heard in parts of Kuwait were caused by interception operations and urged residents to follow official safety instructions.

The attack came amid renewed US-Iran military exchanges. US forces resumed strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and across southern Iran, while Tehran launched missiles and drones toward sites in the Middle East that it said housed US forces and interests.
