Kuwait Damaged by Drone Attack Amidst Rising Regional Tensions
Iranian drone strikes caused significant damage to Kuwait’s oil sector, electricity and water desalination plants, and a government ministries complex on Saturday. The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation reported fires and substantial material losses at multiple affiliated facilities, though no human injuries were sustained. The Kuwaiti Electricity Ministry confirmed two power units were taken offline, while the Finance Ministry reported major property damage to its complex. These strikes are described as part of Iran’s broader retaliatory campaign following a U.S. and Israeli air offensive.
