U.S. forces intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones and carried out self-defense strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island following attempted attacks by Tehran across the Middle East.
Axar.az reports that the statement was made by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on its X account.
According to the command, Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional countries, but none reached their intended targets.
"Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces," CENTCOM said.
The command also noted that its forces had shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian vessels navigating regional waters.
"American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island," it added.
The command stressed that no U.S. personnel were injured during the incidents.
"No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire," the statement noted.
