Kuwait’s Ministry of Health reported that one person was killed and 32 others injured as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks on the country on March 1, 2026. The injuries were treated at Al-Adan Hospital emergency department, with cases including head and chest trauma, broken bones, and other wounds primarily among expatriates.
The attacks form part of Iran’s retaliatory strikes following the US-Israel joint operations that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and targeted Iranian military sites. Kuwait’s Defense Ministry reported intercepting 97 ballistic missiles and 283 drones, though some threats penetrated defenses, leading to debris fallout, explosions, and civilian impact.
Kuwait has condemned the strikes as a violation of sovereignty, activated emergency protocols, and closed airspace alongside other Gulf states. No US military casualties were reported from these incidents, per Pentagon statements, though regional tensions remain high with ongoing exchanges.
