Air raid sirens sounded in Kuwait late Thursday, according to Arab media reports. There was no immediate explanation from authorities regarding the reason for the alert. Earlier, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense announced that it had detected and dealt with 212 ballistic missiles and 394 drones that targeted the country’s airspace since Feb. 28.

At a news conference, the US president downplays the spike in oil prices and says the conflict will eventually result in lower prices.
