A drone strike hit a government building in Kuwait City, causing damage and prompting security forces to secure the area as regional tensions linked to the Iran-Israel conflict continue to escalate, according to regional media reports.
Kuwaiti authorities said the drone struck near an administrative government facility, damaging parts of the structure and surrounding areas. Officials reported no immediate confirmation of fatalities while emergency services responded to the scene.
The strike comes as several Gulf countries have been affected by spillover attacks tied to the wider regional confrontation involving Iran, Israel and allied forces.
Governments across the Gulf have increased security around energy sites, military bases and critical infrastructure.
Kuwait has not immediately said who launched the drone, and officials said investigations were underway to determine the source and circumstances of the attack.
Authorities urged residents to remain calm while security agencies continue their assessment of the incident.
