Shots were fired from two civilian vehicles at US troops near a northern Kuwait training area this morning, causing no injuries, the US embassy in Kuwait said.

The Kuwaiti defence ministry, the interior ministry, and the US military are conducting a joint investigation, it said.

US forces are doing manoeuvres in the northern Kuwaiti desert.

This morning's attack was the third shooting in less than a week involving US forces in Kuwait.
