Iran attacked a power, water desalination plant: Kuwait

Dubai, Jul 17 (AP): Kuwait said Friday that Iran attacked a power and water desalination plant, causing widespread damage to the station.

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.
