Kuwait says another power and water desalination plant attacked
Kuwait’s electricity, water and renewable energy ministry said another power generation and water desalination plant came under an Iranian attack on Saturday, causing a fire in one of the facility’s components.
The ministry said precautionary measures were taken, including shutting down several generation units to protect the plant, workers and the stability of the electricity grid.
It said emergency plans had been activated immediately after the incident to maintain electricity and water services and limit any disruption, while emergency teams were working with firefighters to contain the blaze.
The ministry urged residents to conserve electricity, particularly during peak demand hours between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., to help reduce pressure on the power grid while repairs continue.
