ALBAWABA - The Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) attacked the Abdali border crossing between Kuwait and Iraq on Thursday, a security source in the southern Iraqi province of Basra told Shafaq News.
Explosions were heard on the border, which links Iraq and Kuwait, as escalation between Tehran and Washington continues for the 12th consecutive day.
The missiles crossed Iraqi airspace before hitting the border crossing inside Kuwait. The border crossing was closed by Kuwaiti authorities following the strike.
The Kuwaiti Army confirmed the attack on the Abdali border crossing, saying it was subjected to an attack by "hostile drones", resulting in material damage with no recorded human injuries.
The attack came as retaliation for an earlier bombardment of the Shalamcheh area inside Iranian territory, which killed two people and injured 11 more, according to the deputy governor of Iran's Khuzestan province.
It is worth noting that the Shalamcheh border crossing is considered one of the main transit routes between the two countries.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Thursday morning (Jordan time) that its forces completed another round of strikes against Iran for the 12th consecutive night.
