DUBAI, April 6 (Reuters) – U.S. forces located on Kuwait’s Bubiyan island ​were targeted ‌by Iran, the spokesperson of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in a ‌video ​statement shared ⁠by state ⁠media on Monday.

Ebrahim Zolfaqari said Iran targeted satellite equipment and munitions ​on the island with drones, adding that ⁠U.S. forces ⁠had relocated there ​from Arifjan camp after ​that base was repeatedly ‌struck by Iran.

Bubiyan island is the largest of Kuwait’s coastal ⁠islands chain, located in the northwest of the Gulf.

Six people ⁠were ‌injured from ⁠debris falling in ​a ‌residential area in ​northern Kuwait ⁠after an Iranian attack, Kuwait’s health ministry said earlier.
