The U.S. military said on Tuesday that its forces intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drone attacks launched toward regional nations in the Middle East.
“Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces,” it stated.
CENTCOM said Iran also launched three attack drones toward civilian mariners that were transiting in regional waters, which were later shot down by U.S. forces.
In response to the attacks, the U.S. military conducted what it called self-defense strikes targeting an Iranian military ground control station on Iran’s Qeshm Island.
“No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire,” the command stated.
