A US-Italian army base in Kuwait has been struck by a drone attack, the Italian military says.
“This morning, Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait was the target of a drone attack that hit a shelter housing a remotely piloted aircraft of the Italian Task Force Air (TFA), which was destroyed,” Chief of the Defence General Staff, General Luciano Portolano, says in a statement posted by Italy’s Ministry of Defence on X.
Portolano adds that all personnel were safe and were not involved.
The statement adds that the Italian contingent of TFA had been scaled back in recent days “as part of measures adopted in response to the evolving security situation in the area”.
