Two Injured in Drone Strike in Kuwait

At least two people were injured after a drone struck a residential building in southern Kuwait City, the Kuwaiti Army confirmed on Thursday, March 12.

In a brief statement, the military said the unmanned aerial vehicle hit a residential structure in the country’s southern region, leaving two individuals wounded. Emergency services were dispatched to the site shortly after the incident, and the injured were taken for medical treatment.

Authorities said the building sustained damage from the strike, though the full extent of the destruction has not yet been disclosed. Security forces quickly cordoned off the area while investigators began examining the site and assessing the circumstances surrounding the drone impact.

Officials have not yet provided further details about the origin of the drone or whether additional people may have been affected. The military said it is continuing to monitor the situation and will release updates as more information becomes available.

The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions and a series of drone-related security incidents reported across several Gulf countries in recent days. Governments across the region have increased monitoring of airspace and urged residents to stay informed through official channels.
