At least three people were killed when rockets fired from Kuwaiti territory struck a house near the Iraqi city of Basra, according to sources familiar with the incident.

The attack targeted a residential area in the vicinity of Basra, Iraq's second-largest city and a major oil hub in the country's south. The rockets were reportedly launched from across the border in Kuwait.

Details about the circumstances of the attack, including the time it occurred and the identity of those responsible, were not immediately available. The motive behind the rocket fire also remains unclear.

Basra has previously experienced security incidents due to its strategic importance as a center for Iraq's oil industry and its proximity to the Iranian border. The city hosts significant energy infrastructure and has been a focal point for various regional tensions.
