“This morning, two of Kuwait’s northern land border posts were targeted in a criminal act of aggression involving two explosive-laden drones guided by fiber-optic cables, originating from the Republic of Iraq, resulting in material damage but… no human casualties,” the Kuwaiti military said in a statement on X on Friday.
After the Middle East war began on February 28, some groups began claiming daily attacks on “enemy bases” in Iraq and across the region, but later said they would suspend operations following the announcement of a ceasefire.
However, Gulf countries have summoned Iraqi representatives to protest continued attacks by these groups even after the ceasefire took effect.
Iraq has also been drawn into the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, with repeated strikes targeting Gulf nations, particularly the US embassy in Baghdad.
