A number of young Kuwaitis sitting in restaurants and coffee shops told Arab News that they were sure the US-led alliance would emerge victorious.

Remnants of a Scud missile fell in Jahra Al-Ahmadi on Thursday and a Kuwaiti military source told Arab News that nobody was hurt.

However, the debris destroyed the glass fronts of a number of shops in the area.

Meanwhile, security has been beefed up at the Hilton Hotel in Ahmadi, the media headquarters of the American forces.
