Iran attacks US Gulf allies, causing a fire at Kuwait power plant
Kuwait and Bahrain report several rounds of Iranian missile, drone attacks; sirens reportedly sound in Jordan.
Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US-aligned Gulf targets, according to a monitored public feed from Al Jazeera Latest, with Kuwait and Bahrain reporting multiple waves of strikes and sirens also said to have sounded in Jordan.
The feed said a fire broke out at a power plant in Kuwait after the attacks, though it did not provide details on the scale of damage, casualties, or whether emergency crews had brought the blaze under control. Bahrain also reported being hit in several rounds, indicating the strikes were not isolated to one location.
The brief report suggests a widening regional escalation involving Iran and US Gulf allies, but the available feed summary does not specify which sites were targeted in Bahrain or Jordan, or whether the sirens in Jordan were tied directly to incoming missiles or drones. No official response from the countries mentioned was included in the summary.
Because the information comes from a monitored public feed, the details remain limited and may be updated as more verified reporting becomes available. Based on the feed, the incident appears to have affected multiple countries across the Gulf region in a short span of time, with Kuwait’s power infrastructure among the first reported to be damaged.
