Iranian Strike Kills 1 In Kuwait, Jordan Says It Downed 5 Missiles
An Iranian strike hit a building belonging to a Chinese company in northern Kuwait on July 30, killing one worker and causing extensive damage, Kuwaiti authorities said.
The victim’s nationality was not immediately disclosed.
In a statement, the Kuwaiti Defense Ministry described the incident as “heinous Iranian aggression” and said it caused “severe material damage” to the building.
Elsewhere, Jordan’s military said its air defenses intercepted and shot down five missiles “launched from Iran” earlier on July 30, with no casualties reported.
Kuwait, Jordan and other countries hosting US military facilities have faced repeated Iranian attacks since the outbreak of the war in the Persian Gulf in late February.
