Kuwait city: Kuwait Petroleum Corporation announced that one of its vital oil facilities sustained damage in a series of Iranian attacks, resulting in material damage and some injuries. The state-run news agency KUNA reported that the injured received medical assistance, and the site was evacuated. The corporation is coordinating with state authorities to manage the response to the incident.
According to Nam News Network, the attacks coincided with a fire at a power generation and water desalination plant, as reported by Kuwait's Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy Ministry. This fire is believed to have been caused by the Iranian strikes that occurred early Saturday.
The recent events unfold amidst escalating tensions in West Asia, following US military actions against Iran. Tehran responded with strikes on several regional nations, including Kuwait, which hosts US military assets. These hostilities have erupted despite a Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding signed in June, aimed at ending the conflict and establishing lasting peace.
