Iranian strike hits power and water desalination plant in Kuwait
An Iranian missile or drone strike targeted a major power and water desalination facility in Kuwait, killing an Indian worker and causing significant structural damage to the plant.
Kuwait officials reported that a power and water desalination plant was struck as part of an Iranian attack on the State of Kuwait, resulting in the death of an Indian worker and substantial material damage to service buildings at the facility. The plant is critical to Kuwait’s water supply, as desalination provides roughly 90 percent of the country’s potable water. Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity and Water emphasized that the attack disrupted operations at a key energy and water infrastructure site, underscoring the environmental and public‑health risks from damage to desalination and power facilities, including potential impacts on air quality and water availability.
