The United States has issued an urgent security warning to its citizens in Kuwait, advising them to avoid the area surrounding the embassy.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing international media outlets, that the diplomatic mission has instructed US citizens in Kuwait to remain indoors, stay on the lowest floors of their buildings, and keep away from windows.
According to the statement, diplomatic personnel will remain sheltered within the embassy compound. The alert follows reports from various media sources indicating smoke rising from the vicinity of the US Embassy. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding whether the embassy grounds were the direct target of an attack.
Kuwaiti authorities previously reported the interception of Iranian drones in various locations across the country. This security incident occurs amid heightened regional tensions. Kuwait, a key non-NATO ally of the United States, hosts several major military installations and has maintained a strategic defense partnership with Washington since the Gulf War. The US Embassy in Kuwait City serves as a vital hub for diplomatic and security cooperation in the Persian Gulf region.
