WASHINGTON — Iran launched a fresh round of attacks on Kuwait Tuesday, escalating its campaign against US allies and partners in the Persian Gulf hours after American forces carried out a 10th consecutive night of strikes inside Iran.

Air raid sirens sounded across the emirate as Iranian missiles and drones targeted US-linked facilities and key infrastructure, regional sources told The Post. Kuwaiti authorities did not immediately release casualty figures or a full damage assessment.

“Kuwaiti Air Defenses are currently responding to hostile missile and drone threats,” the Kuwaiti Army said in a statement Tuesday morning. “The General Staff of the Army notes that if explosion sounds are heard, they are the result of the air defense systems intercepting the hostile attacks.”
