Summary
Kuwait's army said a drone struck the Al-Abdali border post on Thursday, causing material damage and temporarily shutting the main land crossing to Iraq, though no casualties were reported.
A Kuwaiti official told AFP the drone was launched by Iran, and the military said it also intercepted other hostile drones early Thursday after recent attacks damaged power and desalination facilities.
In northern Iraq, fresh July 22 strikes hit Erbil and Sulaymaniyah after Iran's Revolutionary Guards used drones and missiles against Kurdish opposition bases on July 20 and killed nine Komala members on July 18.
At least 50 attacks on Kurdish opposition positions have been recorded since an April ceasefire, while coalition defenses have repeatedly intercepted Iranian drone swarms over Erbil and a US service member died handling debris from one downed drone.
