Kuwait’s Health Ministry reported that six people sustained injuries after debris and shrapnel from what it described as an “unjust Iranian attack” fell on a residential area in the country’s north.
According to officials, the injuries were minor and included temporary hearing effects and wounds caused by falls, with all patients currently in stable condition.
In a statement issued early Monday, the ministry said the incident occurred at dawn when projectiles and fragments landed in the area. Ministry spokesman Dr. Abdullah al-Sanad told the Kuwait News Agency that the central operations room received emergency reports immediately, prompting a swift response from ambulance services and medical teams.
Al-Sanad explained that those injured suffered a range of effects, from minor physical wounds to temporary hearing issues triggered by the blasts, as well as injuries sustained while trying to escape the scene.
He added that all six individuals were treated in line with approved medical protocols and that no serious complications have been recorded.
Authorities have not clarified whether the debris originated from an intercepted missile or a direct strike.
The incident comes amid escalating regional tensions following a joint military campaign launched by United States and Israel against Iran on February 28.
The offensive has reportedly resulted in more than 1,340 deaths, including that of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
In response, Iran has carried out drone and missile attacks targeting multiple countries, including Israel, Jordan, and Iraq, as well as Gulf states hosting US military installations.
Tehran has also imposed restrictions on maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route.
For Türkiye, which maintains close diplomatic and economic ties with Kuwait and other Gulf nations, the incident highlights the growing regional impact of the conflict.
Officials in Ankara have repeatedly cautioned that Gulf countries risk being drawn into a broader war and have called for an immediate ceasefire to safeguard civilian lives.
