Kuwait says Iran hit several power, water plants on Monday
Kuwait said Tuesday that Iran had again attacked power and desalination plants critical to the tiny desert nation.
The statement from Kuwait’s Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy Ministry said that Tehran had struck the plants for a fourth day in a row on Monday night.
It said the attacks sparked fires and caused damage. It said it was working to repair the sites.
"In light of the continued Iranian heinous aggressions on the state of Kuwait, several electricity power plants and water distillation stations were subjected to attacks for the fourth day in a row resulting in fires in several facilities," the ministry of electricity, water and renewable energy said in a statement on X.
Some 90% of Kuwait’s drinking water comes from desalination.
