Kuwait Intercepts Iranian Ballistic Missile Targeting US Military Base
On May 28, 2026, Kuwaiti air defense forces successfully intercepted an Iranian ballistic missile targeting a U.S. air base within Kuwaiti territory. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed the launch was in retaliation for overnight U.S. defensive strikes on drone facilities in southern Iran. U.S. Central Command confirmed the interception and labeled the attack an egregious violation of the fragile regional ceasefire. No impact or damage was reported at American military installations in Kuwait.
