Drone attack from Iraq hits Kuwait border posts Drone attack from Iraq hits Kuwait border posts

KUWAIT CITY — Kuwait Armed Forces said Friday that a drone attack launched from Iraq targeted northern border positions, causing material damage but no casualties.In a statement, the army said two explosive-laden drones struck land border posts early in the day in what it described as a hostile attack.The military said the drones were guided through fiber-optic cables and were launched from Iraqi territory.No injuries were reported, although the attack caused damage to facilities at the targeted sites.Iran-aligned factions are active in Iraq, with some groups previously announcing military operations in the region during the joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran that began on Feb. 28.Those attacks killed more than 3,300 people in Iran before Washington and Tehran announced a two-week ceasefire on April 8, mediated by Pakistan.The truce has remained in place since then, while US and Iranian officials held talks in Pakistan last weekend and efforts continue to arrange another round of negotiations.Donald Trump said Tuesday that the ceasefire would remain in effect following a request from Pakistan until Iran presents what he described as a “unified proposal.”
