Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)

Iran fired seven ballistic missiles at Kuwait overnight, authorities said, and falling debris caused some damage on the ground, but no casualties.

The June 6 attack came just days after an Iranian strike on the Gulf state's international airport killed one person and injured 63 others. The attack was the latest sign that a cease-fire announced two months ago by the United States remained fragile.

In a statement, Kuwait's military said it had intercepted the seven missiles at dawn over Kuwaiti airspace, with some debris falling on residential areas.

No further details were provided. There was no immediate comment from Iran.

Earlier, Kuwait's Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks as "a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the state" and that they represented a "dangerous escalation."

Iran has repeatedly targeted several Gulf State nations -- mainly US allies -- with drones and missiles over the course of the war, which erupted on February 28 when US and Israeli forces launched air strikes on Iran.

Bahrain, which hosts the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet, said it also was targeted by Iranian missiles, though it gave no details as to when and where, or whether there was damage or casualties.

Earlier, US Central Command -- the Pentagon entity overseeing US forces in the Middle East -- confirmed the launch of seven Iranian missiles at Kuwait, and said six were intercepted, while the seventh "did not reach its intended target."
