A Kuwaiti power and desalination plant has been attacked by Iran for the second time in two days, Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said in a statement a short while ago, as Iranian strikes on US regional allies persist.
The Iranian strike was “heinous,” the ministry said, calling it “second hostile attack in two days.”
A resulting fire impacted a “large number of electricity generation units,” the ministry said, leading to the activation of emergency plans to maintain the stability of the plant’s electrical system.
Yesterday’s attack also saw a fire break out at the plant, but only in “one of the plant’s components,” according to the ministry.
A similar attack also took place on Friday, the ministry said after which the electrical generation units of a Kuwaiti power generation and water desalination plant were damaged in a fire that resulted from the Iranian strike.
Kuwait has been one of the countries most frequently targeted by Iran since hostilities resumed between Tehran and Washington. In Kuwait, desalination accounts for around 90% of freshwater needs.
