Iran launched a short-range ballistic missile targeting the US Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait over the past 24 hours, directly threatening a pending peace agreement. Kuwaiti air defense systems intercepted the Iranian Fateh-110 missile, but falling debris wounded approximately five US service members and civilian contractors, while completely destroying one MQ-9 Reaper drone and severely damaging another.
According to intelligence and military sources, Iran deployed a Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missile targeting the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. The Fateh-110 is a solid-fuel missile capable of carrying a high-explosive warhead weighing approximately 500 kilograms.
Kuwaiti air defense batteries successfully engaged and intercepted the incoming projectile before it could impact its primary target. However, the mid-air detonation caused heavy, mangled fragments of the missile to rain directly down onto the perimeter of the military facility.
The falling debris wounded approximately five people, including both active-duty US military personnel and private civilian contractors working for the US armed forces. All victims reportedly sustained minor injuries and are receiving medical treatment.
