This statement follows the arrest of four people affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guards who allegedly attempted to infiltrate the Gulf country by sea. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense said the suspects clashed with their armed forces, resulting in the injury of one Kuwaiti soldier.  

While two of the infiltrators were able to escape, the four who were detained confessed that they were tasked by the IRGC to infiltrate Boubyan Island aboard a rented fishing boat.
