Kuwait reports 67 army members injured since start of Iranian strikes

Kuwait City, March 6, 2026 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Kuwait’s defence ministry said on Friday that 67 members of the Kuwaiti army have been injured since Iran launched strikes across Gulf countries hosting U.S. military bases.

Defence ministry spokesperson Colonel Saud Al-Atwan said the injured soldiers are receiving medical care and are in stable condition, while two cases remain under medical observation.

Kuwait’s air defences have intercepted multiple Iranian aerial targets, but falling debris caused casualties on the ground, the ministry said.

An 11-year-old girl died and several relatives were injured earlier this week after debris from intercepted aerial targets struck a residential home, according to the information provided. Six U.S. soldiers were killed on Sunday in a drone strike on a military facility in Kuwait.
