KUWAIT CITY, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait said Friday it had monitored and intercepted seven hostile drones that entered its airspace over the past 24 hours and several members of its National Guard were injured in the attacks, which it blamed on Iran.
The Ministry of Defense said in a statement that the drone attacks caused "significant material damage" to several vital facilities affiliated with the Kuwait National Guard and injured several members, who are currently receiving treatment and are in stable condition.
The ministry described the incidents as "heinous Iranian aggression."
Earlier in the day, Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the drone attacks, carried out on Thursday evening, attributing them to Iran and its affiliated groups.
No party has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Iran said earlier in the day that its forces "have not launched any missiles at any country during the ceasefire hours up to this time."
The incident comes ahead of planned U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday. The ceasefire follows joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28 and subsequent attacks by Tehran and its regional allies on U.S. and Israeli interests in the region. ■
