The US intercepted multiple ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran towards Kuwait, Bahrain, and the Strait of Hormuz in the early morning hours on Saturday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced.
According to CENTCOM, an initial assessment indicated that six of the missiles were intercepted and a seventh failed before hitting anything.
Iran launched the missiles hours after American forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were posing a threat to maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
After shooting the drones down, the US struck Iranian military radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island.
This is a developing story.
