US Citizens Injured in Missile Attack on Kuwait Military Base
A missile attack on a military base in Kuwait injured around five US citizens, including military personnel and contractors. The attack, attributed to Iran, also damaged two MQ-9 Reaper drones, valued at approximately $30 million each. One drone was destroyed while another sustained heavy damage. The missile was intercepted, but debris caused the injuries. Discussions at the White House regarding a potential 60-day ceasefire extension with Iran concluded without a clear outcome. US officials indicated that an agreement could depend on Iran meeting key conditions, including ending its nuclear programme and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The negotiations have faced uncertainty, with both sides indicating progress while also highlighting unresolved issues.
