KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait, April 25, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The Kuwaiti military said on Friday that two drones coming from the direction of neighbouring Iraq struck border posts on the countries' shared frontier, causing damage but no casualties.

No Iraqi group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Baghdad's interior minister said it would investigate the incident.

"This morning, two of Kuwait's northern land border posts were targeted in a criminal act of aggression involving two explosive-laden drones guided by fibre-optic cables, originating from the Republic of Iraq, resulting in material damage but... no human casualties," the military said in a statement on X.

In a call with his Kuwaiti counterpart, Iraqi Interior Minister Abdel Amir al-Shammari denounced such attacks, saying they "damage the reputation of the fraternal relations between the two countries", Iraq's official INA news agency reported.

He said that Iraq had ordered the formation of an investigative committee "to identify those responsible and bring them to justice".

After the Middle East war began on February 28, pro-Iran armed groups began claiming daily attacks on "enemy bases" in Iraq and the wider region, but said they were suspending their actions after a ceasefire was announced.

Gulf countries, however, have summoned Iraqi representatives to protest attacks from these groups even after the ceasefire came into place.

Along with the Gulf states, Iraq was dragged into the war between the United States, Israel and Iran, with strikes repeatedly targeting both US interests -- especially the embassy in Baghdad -- and pro-Iran groups in the country.
