The US Dept. of State Consular Affairs said in a security alert posted to X, “There is a continuing threat of missile and UAV attacks over <\/span>Kuwait. Do not come to the Embassy. Take cover in your residence on the lowest available floor and away from windows. Do not go outside. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait urges U.S. citizens in Kuwait to shelter in place, review security plans in the event of an attack, and to stay alert in case of additional future attacks. U.S. Embassy personnel are sheltering in place.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It also listed actions one should take in <\/span>emergency situations<\/span>, saying, “If you hear a loud explosion, or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover,” and “If in a home or building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The alert also urged people to seek cover in a hardened structure if they are outdoors, or lie down and cover their heads with their hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Be aware that even if the incoming missile or drone is intercepted, falling debris represents a significant risk,” it added. “After the attack, stay away from any debris, and monitor major news outlets for official guidance.”<\/span><\/p>\n
