Quoted from Press TV, in a statement on Sunday, the IRGC said its Navy and Aerospace Force jointly carried out the operation between “2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. on Sunday (local time),” targeting eight “key US military installations,” including the “Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait” and the “US Fifth Fleet headquarters at Salman Port in Bahrain.”
The Corps said the operation involved ballistic missiles and drones and said the targeted facilities were destroyed.
