Iran Drone Attacks Hit Kuwait's Desalination Plants, Oil Complex

Iranian drone strikes hit two of Kuwait's power and desalination plants as well as the Shuwaikh oil sector complex in Kuwait City, causing fire and significant damage, the Kuwaiti government said early Sunday. The attack knocked both the power and desalination plants out of service, according to a joint statement from Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy and the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, or KPC. No injuries were reported at the plants, or at the Shuwaikh oil sector complex, according to the statement, which said emergency and firefighting teams were responding to the blaze. The Shuwaikh complex, which houses both KPC and the country's Oil Ministry, has been evacuated, it added. A separate drone attack also caused extensive damage to the country's Ministries Complex on Saturday evening, just a few miles away. Kuwait said it was intercepting waves of drones and missiles during the time of the attacks. The latest barrage followed multiple attacks on Kuwait's oil refineries and its international airport in recent days.
