Washington (AFP)
The United States military said it attacked radar sites on Iran's southern coast on Friday.
US Central Command said in a statement that its forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, then attacked Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in the city of Goruk and on Qeshm Island.
"The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic," while the strikes on radar installations "defend against further attacks," the statement said.
Kuwait's military said on early Saturday it was responding to "hostile" missile and drone attacks.
"Kuwaiti air defenses are currently responding to hostile missile and drone attacks," the military said on X, without specifying their origin.
A ceasefire has been in place between the United States and Iran since April 8, but subsequent talks to try to put a more permanent end to the conflict have so far been unsuccessful.
