Can Kaon+ experience the Electromagnetic interaction?

hello. this isn’t specified in my textbook and i can find a solid answer to my question. i know that the electromagnetic interaction occurs between 2 charged particles but is this limited to only protons and electrons or does this include charged mesons and muons?

Electromagnetic interaction is not limited to protons and electrons.
Charged mesons and muons can also experience electromagnetic interaction.

“Because mesons are composed of quarks, they participate in both the weak interaction and strong interaction. Mesons with net electric charge also participate in the electromagnetic interaction.”
