Kuwait [Kuwait City], March 16: A drone has struck a military facility in Kuwait used by Italian and US forces.
"This morning, Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait, which hosts American and Italian personnel and capabilities, was the target of a drone attack," Chief of the Defence General Staff Luciano Portolano said in a statement posted by the Italian military on X.
According to the Italian military, the drone struck a shelter used by the Italian Task Force Air. Officials said the impact destroyed a remotely piloted aircraft stationed at the base.
"At the time of the attack, all personnel were safe and uninjured," the statement said.
The incident follows a drone attack last week on an Italian military site in Erbil in northern Iraq, where Rome also has a presence.
