By Sammy Tisser,
Iran's military says it launched drone strikes targeting US military facilities at Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait, claiming the attack struck aircraft shelters, satellite communications systems and equipment storage facilities.
China's Foreign Ministry says one of the strikes also hit a building belonging to a Chinese company in Kuwait, but confirms no Chinese citizens were injured. Spokesperson Mao Ning says Beijing has urged Kuwaiti authorities to take effective measures to protect Chinese nationals and Chinese institutions.
Tehran says the operation was carried out "in response to the recent aggression by the terrorist US military against our country" and what it described as a "brutal attack on a residential home on Qeshm Island." There has been no immediate comment from US Central Command (CENTCOM).
