Kuwait says Iranian attack wounds soldiers, damages military and civilian facilities
Kuwait’s military said on Friday that several members of its ground forces were wounded, and military and civilian facilities were damaged after what it described as an Iranian attack involving ballistic missiles and drones.
A Defense Ministry spokesperson said the armed forces had detected hostile ballistic missiles and drones in Kuwaiti airspace since dawn on Friday and had intercepted and dealt with them.
The military also said several vital civilian facilities were hit, including a power generation and water desalination station, causing a fire and damage to parts of the facility and electricity generation units.
It said debris also fell in several locations across the country, causing material damage but no civilian casualties.
Earlier on Friday, Kuwait Fire Force said via X that firefighters had extinguished two fires that broke out at separate sites in the south of the country after the locations were struck in “hostile” Iranian attacks.
