"Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday it has fired 230 drones at several facilities hosting US troops in the Middle East, including a base in Erbil in northern Iraq and the Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. The IRGC said the attacks were among its first powerful steps in the war."
"Kuwait's Ministry of Health said on Wednesday that an 11-year-old girl was killed after being hit by falling shrapnel. Resuscitation was performed in the ambulance while the girl was being transported to the hospital, and attempts continued for nearly half an hour upon arrival at Al-Amiri Hospital. However, she passed away due to her injuries."
"In Iraq, Al Jazeera Arabic reported that a drone targeted a logistical support facility of the US embassy in Baghdad, located near the Baghdad international airport. Two drones also targeted a US military base and a hotel in Erbil, in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, security sources told Reuters."
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps conducted widespread drone attacks across multiple Middle Eastern countries, firing 230 unmanned aircraft at US military installations and facilities. Targets included bases in Erbil and Baghdad in Iraq, Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, and facilities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The attacks resulted in at least one confirmed civilian casualty—an 11-year-old girl in Kuwait killed by falling shrapnel. Several attacks were intercepted or caused limited damage, though some successfully struck logistical facilities near the US embassy in Baghdad and military installations in Erbil. The IRGC characterized these strikes as initial powerful steps in an ongoing campaign.
