as the regional war entered its second week. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait all reported new attacks, after loud explosions were heard in Dubai and Bahrain's Manama a day earlier, and Kuwait's national oil company announced a "precautionary" cut to production. Qatar's defence ministry said on Sunday that the country was targeted a day earlier by 10 ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles fired from Iran, but most of them were intercepted and caused no casualties. Saudi Arabia's defence ministry said Sunday it had intercepted and destroyed 15 drones that entered the kingdom's airspace, including six east of capital Riyadh.

Kuwait's military also said Sunday that it had responded "to a wave of hostile drones that penetrated the country's airspace". Fuel tanks at Kuwait's international airport were targeted in a drone attack, the military added. It called the drone attack "a direct targeting of vital infrastructure". A separate statement said "some civilian facilities sustained material damage as a result of falling fragments and debris from interception operations". The attacks came despite Iran's president apologising to Gulf countries for earlier strikes. He had said they would no longer be targeted unless strikes were launched from their territory first. But hours later, Iran's judiciary chief said strikes would continue on sites in Gulf countries which were "at the disposal of the enemy". UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said in a rare televised address that the Emirates were in "a period of war" and "will emerge stronger" from it. Dubai authorities said Saturday that a a Pakistani national had been killed by debris from an "aerial interception". (Bssnews)
