The US military says it has intercepted several Iranian ballistic missiles and drones. According to the army, these missiles and drones were launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and countries around the Persian Gulf.

According to the US, these were seven ballistic missiles that were on their way to Kuwait and Bahrain. According to the first information, six rockets have been neutralized, the army writes. The seventh missile would not have reached its target. According to the army, there are also no reports of injuries on the American side.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain have been hit. The US military denies that there was damage to the headquarters of the so-called Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

Kuwait’s air defenses have intercepted missiles and drones, according to state news agency KUNA. Correspondents from the French news agency AFP said explosions were heard near Kuwait’s airport, as well as in Bahrain’s capital Manama.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard speaks of a retaliation for American attacks on Iranian positions. Shortly before that, the US military shot down four Iranian attack drones and attacked Iranian radar posts.

According to the US military, the Iranian drones were launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and would pose a danger to ships in the strait. To prevent more attacks from Iran, the US decided to attack radar posts near the Iranian city of Goruk and on the island of Qeshm.

The US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire in April, but no deal has yet been reached to end the war. Meanwhile, both countries continue to attack each other.

The US military already attacked Iranian radar and command centers last weekend. According to the army, this was also a response to the disarming of Iranian drones. There were further attacks on Wednesday, hitting Kuwait’s international airport. A death occurred here.

Negotiations between Iran and the US appear to have stalled. Iran continues to insist that an end to the war also means an end to the fighting in Lebanon. But the battle between Israel and Hezbollah still continues there.

An Israeli airstrike killed five people in southern Lebanon on Friday, the Lebanese health ministry said. An emergency worker is said to be among the dead. Two people were also reportedly injured.

Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire this week, but Hezbollah rejected the deal. This would not guarantee that Israel will withdraw from southern Lebanon.
