United States military officials said Iran launched seven ballistic missiles toward neighboring Gulf nations of Kuwait and Bahrain on Friday, hours after reporting four Iranian “one-way attack” drones were thwarted.
In a statement posted to X, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it intercepted six of the missiles Iran launched and the seventh “did not reach its intended target.”
“There are currently no reports of harm to US personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging US 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false,” the statement said.
