The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Defense assured that its air defenses intercepted nine drones in its airspace, while the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense reported the destruction of several "hostile targets", the remains of which fell on residential areas. Kuwaiti health authorities said that this shrapnel produced by the interception caused the death of a girl. The Qatari government also said it had received an attack against the Al Udeid military base, which houses U.S. troops. Authorities reported two missiles from Iran, one of which was intercepted while the other hit the facilities.
