US base in Kuwait where six troops were killed lacked fortifications – media

The military facility reportedly did not have any adequate protection from air attacks despite the Pentagon claiming otherwise

Six US servicemen were killed in an Iranian strike on a military installation in Kuwait on Sunday, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has confirmed. While the Pentagon chief claimed the base’s defenses were penetrated by a single munition, media reports suggested it lacked any proper fortifications or anti-air capabilities.
