Kuwait's military says a strike hit a Chinese firm's building in the north, killing a worker

Kuwait's military said an Iranian strike hit a Chinese firm's building in northern Kuwait early on Thursday 30 July 2026, severely damaging the structure and killing a worker. The military headquarters did not name the company.

The incident came hours after Jordan's air defences shot down five missiles launched from Iran. Jordan's state-run Petra news agency, quoting the spokesman for the country's armed forces, said no casualties were reported from the interception. Earlier, the US military said it had completed "a heavy wave of strikes against Iran" in response to an earlier Iranian missile attack on a US base in Jordan.

US Central Command said in a social media post that it had struck "dozens" of targets belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, including military command centres, missile and drone facilities, and coastal surveillance and defence sites. Iran's official IRNA news agency said three people were killed and two wounded in a strike on the island of Qeshm. On Wednesday, the United States and Saudi Arabia jointly struck Iran-backed militias in Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers.
