The US launched an eighth straight night of attacks against Iran after earlier announcing that two US military personnel were killed in Jordan and another was missing following an Iranian attack.

Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation condemned a US attack on the site of a nuclear power plant under construction in Darkhovin, Mehr reported, without saying when the strike was carried out.

In response to the latest strikes, Iran carried out a drone attack that targeted US military assets and equipment at Kuwait's Al-Adiri camp and Ali Al Salem Air Base. Both bases were targeted as part of Iran's attacks against US assets and allies in the Gulf since last week.

Kuwait, which had come under sustained Iranian attack on Saturday, again intercepted Iranian missiles and drones on Sunday, its army said. Bahrain's air defences also intercepted an Iranian attack on Sunday.
