Kuwaiti air defences intercepted "hostile missile and drone attacks", the military said on Monday, as air raid sirens howled across the country.

"The General Staff of the Army wishes to advise that any sounds of explosions heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting these hostile attacks," the Kuwait Army said in a post on its official X account.

It urged everybody to abide by the safety instructions issued by the competent authorities.

KUNA, the state news agency, reported that air raid sirens rang across the Gulf nation.
