Kuwait's electricity ministry said one of the country's power and water desalination plants suffered severe damage after an Iranian attack. The ministry did not name the specific facility or provide details on the timing or method of the strike. Officials have not released casualty figures or estimates of lost capacity.
The reported attack comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and several Gulf states. Kuwait has maintained a neutral stance in recent regional disputes but shares maritime borders with both Iran and Iraq. No other Kuwaiti infrastructure has been reported damaged in the same incident.
The ministry did not indicate whether repairs have begun or how long service disruptions may last.
