Kuwait reports that Iran carries out a second attack within two days on the country’s electricity and water infrastructure. Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity and Water says the latest strike hits a power and water distillation plant, triggering a fire and leading to the deactivation of several power generation units. Fire service officials confirm that the assault causes blazes at two sites, and reports indicate injuries to firefighters and at least one worker. Kuwait also says a prior attack on Friday caused a fire and damaged another facility.
In Bahrain, the government and military report that air defense systems repel a wave of Iranian aerial attacks. Bahrain’s authorities say residents hear explosions and air-raid sirens, with the interior ministry citing multiple siren activations since dawn. The army states that its defenses intercept and destroy several incoming attacks.
Iranian state media and military statements claim responsibility for actions in the region, including retaliation against what it describes as American strikes, with claims involving a U.S.-used air base in Bahrain. The reports describe escalating Gulf tensions involving Iran, the United States, and neighboring states hosting U.S. military assets, with Kuwait also suspending airport operations temporarily due to rocket and drone threats.
