Iranian military officials announced Monday they conducted a drone attack against American forces stationed on Bubiyan Island in Kuwait, according to a video statement released through state-controlled media.
Ebrahim Zolfaqari, speaking for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, claimed the operation specifically targeted satellite communications equipment and weapons stockpiles on the island using unmanned aircraft. He stated that American troops had moved to this location from the Arifjan military installation following multiple previous Iranian strikes on that facility.
The island represents Kuwait’s largest coastal landmass and sits in the northwestern section of the Persian Gulf region.
Kuwait’s health ministry reported that six individuals sustained injuries from debris that fell into a residential neighborhood in the country’s northern region during the Iranian assault.
