Kuwait City, July 13 -- As Iran launched strikes targeting US military bases in three countries in the region, Kuwait on Monday said its air defence systems were engaging "hostile aerial targets", while Jordan said it had intercepted four missiles fired from Iran.

Meanwhile, Bahrain sounded warning sirens.

The developments came after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Monday (local time) said it had targeted US military installations in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait as part of its ongoing "eye for an eye" operation in response to US military strikes in Iran.

In a post on X, the Kuwait Armed Forces released a statement saying it was currently engaging "hostile aerial targets" within Kuwaiti airspace.
