DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Kuwait said Friday that Iran attacked a power and water desalination plant, causing widespread damage to the station.
In Kuwait, about 90% of drinking water comes from desalination -- and any disruption can threaten life in the small, desert nation.
Kuwait’s Electricity Water and Renewable Energy Ministry announced the attack, saying it sparked a fire and “damage to a large number of electricity generation units.”
Kuwait said it extinguished the blaze and was working to assess the damage and get the station working again.
