Kuwait says two navy soldiers killed

The Kuwaiti army said two navy soldiers were killed on Monday while "carrying out duties" with the Gulf country's armed forces.

The army did not provide details in two separate statements on the circumstances of the deaths.

Kuwait has been intercepting drones and missiles launched from Iran in the past few days as part of the latter's retaliatory strikes on neighbouring Gulf states in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic.
