Fighting was fierce, especially around midday, but ended around 14:00 with the Iraqis taking control of the palace.〔 They were thwarted in their aim of capturing the Emir and his advisors, who had relocated to General Headquarters before the assault began.〔 Among the casualties was the Emir's younger brother, His Excellency Sheikh Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who stood his ground heavily outnumbered and was killed in the defense of Dasman Palace.
