US Military Says Iran Violated Ceasefire With Missile Attack on Kuwait

Kuwaiti forces successfully intercepted the missile aimed at their territory.

The U.S. military said that Kuwait had intercepted missiles launched by Iran late Wednesday night, calling the Iranian attack on one of the U.S. top allies in the Persian Gulf an “egregious ceasefire violation.”

Kuwait–which hosts a large U.S. base–had earlier announced an attack on its territory, and Iran announced it had retaliated after strikes earlier in the week on a U.S. base in a Gulf state it did not name.
