Kuwait City - The Kuwaiti military intercepted an attack from Iran for the second time on Monday, according to the country's armed forces.

"Every sound of an explosion that may be heard is caused by the activation of the air defense system," the military said in a post on the X platform, reported by CNN, Monday, July 20.

Further south, in Bahrain, sirens wailed in the afternoon local time - for the third time on Monday - according to the country's Interior Ministry.

The Iranian military has stepped up attacks on three countries in the region - Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain - in recent days. All three countries host US military bases in the region.
