The US military said Tuesday that Iranian missiles launched toward Kuwait and Bahrain either failed mid-flight or were intercepted, prompting retaliatory strikes on an Iranian military facility, AP reports.
US Central Command said American forces targeted a military ground control station on Qeshm Island, near the Strait of Hormuz, which also houses a desalination plant.
According to the US, two missiles fired at Kuwait broke apart before reaching their destination, while missiles aimed at Bahrain were intercepted by US and Bahraini forces.
