Tehran, MINA – The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) says its ground forces launched a missile-and-drone attack against a US military base in Kuwait at dawn on Wednesday, targeting the headquarters and residence of a US commander at Ali Al Salem Air Base.
In a statement, the IRGC Public Relations office said the attack came in response to a US strike on a residential home in Sirik, which killed four people, including a child, and injured nearly 70 others, in a “grave crime and a violation of human rights”, Al-Mayadeen reported.
According to the statement, the US military strike targeted a wedding celebration involving a young Muslim Sunni couple, turning the event into a funeral after the residential building was bombed and destroyed.
The IRGC said its missile-and-drone operation against the Kuwait base was carried out simultaneously with attacks targeting US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Erbil. It then revealed that the strike on Ali Al Salem Air Base resulted in the deaths of several US personnel.
