According to a statement cited by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the action was part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national security, protect vital sites, and respond to potential threats.
Authorities said the interception reflects the country’s heightened alert measures aimed at safeguarding strategic facilities amid rising regional tensions.
In a related development, Kuwait Airways announced earlier that it has begun operating flights from several capitals to Saudi Arabia to facilitate the return of Kuwaiti citizens to their homeland by land.
The airline said in an official statement that the step forms part of emergency measures designed to ensure the safety of citizens and ease their return to Kuwait.
