The AP reported<\/a>
\n that through August, more than 115 drone or missile strikes claimed by Iran or Iranian-backed militias damaged or destroyed structures on 26 military bases and other sites with American equipment. Many of the attacks focused on aircraft hangars and systems that detect incoming strikes, the AP added.\u00a0<\/p>\nIt said most of the Iranian attacks have been in Kuwait, but U.S. sites in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also have been targeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait was struck at least 30 times, damaging or destroying at least 15 aircraft hangars, numerous warehouses and 10 buildings near a residential area, according to the AP.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nAl Dhafra Air Base, about 20 miles south of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, was hit frequently early in the war, a regional military official with direct knowledge of the damage told the AP. The official noted damage to infrastructure like aircraft hangars and other installations as well as to equipment such as an early-warning radar system and surveillance drones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
