• The US military said it launched "self-defence" strikes on Iran overnight, and shot down ballistic missiles and drones fired at ships and Gulf countries.
• The strikes on Qeshm Island, in the Strait of Hormuz, were "in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East", US Central Command (Centcom) said.
• Iran said it had attacked US bases and helicopters in a "regional country" using missiles and drones in retaliation.
• Centcom said Tehran fired two missiles at Kuwait and three at Bahrain, all of which broke apart or were intercepted.
• Kuwait's army later said Iranian drones had hit its international airport, causing "significant" building damage and injuries to a number of people.
