Iran Strikes Kuwait's Oil, Power And Desalination Plants Overnight

Iran Strikes Kuwait's Oil, Power And Desalination Plants Overnight

Kuwait's Foreign Ministry accused Tehran of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, calling the overnight barrage a direct threat to civilian lives.

  • Kuwait Petroleum Corporation reported significant material losses at a hit facility, per KUNA.
  • Zour South's transformer was hit Friday, then struck again in Saturday's overnight barrage.
  • Al-Subiya power station and an army base were also hit; several soldiers were injured.

Why it matters: A country that drinks only what one plant produces has no shelter once that plant becomes a target.
