The attacks have targeted Kuwait’s critical infrastructure. A power and seawater desalination plant was struck for the second consecutive day, raising concerns over the country’s water security. Kuwait relies heavily on desalination, with around 90 per cent of its drinking water produced from seawater due to the absence of permanent rivers, lakes, and significant rainfall. According to Kuwaiti authorities, two of the country’s nine major desalination plants have come under attack in recent days.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Health Ministry has said US attacks on the country since July 6 have killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 500.
At least 116 telecommunication towers are out of service in southern Iran due to US attacks, according to an official in Iran’s Hormozgan province.
