Kuwait's military announced on Thursday that it is taking all necessary steps to secure the country's borders after a series of drone attacks targeted a border crossing with Iraq. The attacks were carried out by what the army described as 'hostile drones' and caused material damage but no casualties, according to officials.
In a statement posted on social media, Saudi Abdulaziz al-Otaibi, a spokesman for the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defence, said the armed forces are carrying out their duties with high efficiency and adopting all necessary measures to protect the homeland's borders and maintain security and stability.
The exact location and timing of the attacks were not detailed, but the border crossing with Iraq has been a focal point of tensions in the region. Kuwait shares a long border with Iraq, and the area has seen occasional security incidents in the past.
The Kuwaiti army's statement reaffirms its commitment to defending the nation's sovereignty. No group has claimed responsibility for the drone strikes, and investigations are likely ongoing. The military emphasized its readiness to respond to any threats to the country's security.
