Gulf nations reported missile and drone attacks on Sunday, while Iran vowed to press on with strikes against neighbouring countries as the regional war entered its second week.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait all reported new attacks, after loud explosions were heard in Dubai and Bahrain’s Manama a day earlier.

Kuwait’s national oil company announced a “precautionary” cut to its crude production, as the country’s military said on Sunday it had responded “to a wave of hostile drones that penetrated the country’s airspace”.
