Air raid sirens sound during Eid call to prayer in Kuwait

Kuwait City, Kuwait - Air raid sirens were activated in Kuwait City on Tuesday during the call to prayer for Eid al-Fitr.

According to eyewitnesses, the sirens sounded simultaneously with the start of the Eid call, which was broadcast from a mosque. Footage captured the moment, showing people in the area stopping and looking up as the sirens blared.

The activation of air raid sirens is typically used to alert residents of potential threats, such as missile attacks or other security incidents. In this case, it appears that Iran launched missiles and drones at US assets, prompting the sirens to sound across Kuwait City.

Details about the extent of the damage caused by the Iranian attack are not yet available. However, officials have confirmed that the incident occurred on Tuesday, during the Eid call to prayer.

The air raid sirens were activated in response to a reported missile strike against US targets. The exact location and timing of the attack are not specified.

As a precautionary measure, residents in Kuwait City were advised to take necessary precautions and seek shelter if needed.
