JAKARTA - The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that the US had intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and countries in the Gulf region.

"US forces intercepted a number of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and neighboring countries in the Gulf region on June 5," CENTCOM said.

CENTCOM said Iran fired seven ballistic missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain. Six missiles were intercepted, while the seventh missile did not reach its target.

The statement also said that so far there have been no reports of casualties or losses to US military personnel.

"Iran's claim that they have damaged the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain is not true," the statement continued.

CENTCOM insisted its forces remained on alert and in a position ready to continue to respond to what it called "Iranian aggression."
