U S and allied forces launched widespread bombing with 750 aircraft, including B 52s, targeting the Iraqi Defense Ministry and post office HQs. Bush framed the action as Kuwait’s liberation while defense officials described strategic aims. In Baghdad air raid sirens sounded, foreign reporters sheltered, and international reaction ranged from NATO urgency to protest mobilization.
Saddam pledged victory against what he called infidels and vowed to strike back after unloading bombs from high altitudes to avoid ground defenses. CNN reported him seen at the TV station in Baghdad around 9 am local time. The Red Cross questioned whether populated areas were hit while Iraqi and U.S.-led forces prepare for further actions.
Gen Colin Powell said the initial U S attack met no air resistance in Iraq and proceeded with a wave of cruise missiles from Gulf Navy ships. President Bush said the assault targets Iraqi chemical and nuclear facilities as forces advance in the region. More than 1,300 U S warplanes plus allied aircraft are involved with F-15E Strike Eagles F-117 stealth bombers A-6 and F A-18 jets among others.
