US Embassy Advises People to Avoid Compound Amid Kuwait Tensions
In an updated alert to US citizens in Kuwait, the embassy recommended that residents stay indoors, shelter on the lowest level possible, avoid windows, and refrain from traveling to the embassy due to a reported ongoing threat of missile and drone attacks.
“There is an ongoing threat of missile and drone (UAV) attacks in Kuwait. Do not travel to the U.S. Embassy,” the advisory said.
The mission also urged Americans to “shelter in place, review security plans in the event of an attack, and stay alert in case of additional future attacks,” noting that embassy personnel were likewise sheltering in place.
Although media outlets reported smoke near the compound, authorities have not released any official statement regarding the incident.
Separately, footage circulating on social media appears to show a US F-15 warplane crashing in Kuwait. However, officials have not confirmed the authenticity of the video or reported any such crash.
