Explosions Hit Bandar Abbas and Qeshm in Iran Following US Strike on Kuwaiti Base

Following reports of explosions in Kuwait, Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that Iran launched three ballistic missiles targeting a US military base in Kuwait. Tasnim stated that thick smoke columns were clearly visible near the Iraq-Kuwait border area. Shortly after, another Iranian news agency, Fars, reported multiple explosions east of Bandar Abbas and along the coast of Qeshm Island in Iran. The causes of these explosions remain unknown. These events come amid escalating tensions and retaliatory strikes between the US and Iran, with the US reportedly responding to attacks on oil tankers in the region. Social media footage from Kuwait circulated showing the aftermath of the missile strike, but no further details on casualties or damage have been confirmed.
