Saud Al-Atwan, the defense ministry's official spokesman, said the injured personnel are receiving medical treatment and that their conditions are stable. Two cases remain under medical observation, he added.
The military spokesman also said Kuwaiti defense systems have so far detected and dealt with 212 ballistic missiles and 394 drones launched in attacks targeting the country's airspace during the past days.
The reported injuries among soldiers in the Kuwaiti army come amid hundreds of devastating drone and ballistic attacks by Tehran on US bases as well as military and economic infrastructure in Kuwait and other Arab Gulf countries since the start of the US/Israeli war on Iran on Saturday.
Earlier in the evening, the Kuwait Army stated that Kuwait Air Defense systems are intercepting missile and drone attacks detected in the country’s airspace.
The loud noises heard in various areas around the country are resulting from Kuwait Air Defense systems’ interception of the missile and drone attacks, the army noted.
In the afternoon, Iran's military claimed that it had launched a drone attack against a US military site in Kuwait.
"Drone units of the armed force's navy targeted a site of the US forces Camp Udairi in Kuwait using combat drones," the army said in a statement broadcast by state TV.
Camp Buehring, formerly known as Udairi, is a major US military facility in northwestern Kuwait.
