🇮🇶🇰🇼🇺🇸Protesters Seize Kuwaiti Consulate in Basra After Deadly US Strike Yesterday, security forces have deployed in Basra, Iraq, as demonstrators gathered at the Kuwaiti consulate. The unrest followed the US military strike in the Khor al-Zubair area, reportedly launched from Kuwaiti territory. The initial rocket attack killed at least three people and wounded five others, destroying a house. While sources initially indicated the strike may have targeted an armed faction, the victims are now reported as a civilian family. In response, demonstrators stormed the diplomatic compound, raising an Iraqi flag and removing Kuwait's. Clashes have since broken out between riot police and the protesters, who have seized the consulate. Reportedly, then, the Shiite rioters proceeded to loot the premises.
