Kuwait City: Kuwait said on Saturday that Iran struck a power and water plant as well as an oil facility, accusing it of targeting civilian infrastructure as the Middle East war escalates.
"Another electricity and water distillation plant was targeted by a hostile attack that led to a fire erupting in one of the plant's components," Kuwait's ministry of electricity and water said in a statement.
It said several power generation units were deactivated due to the attack.
The strike was the second on a Kuwaiti power and water plant in as many days, with the first on Friday also causing a fire and damage.
Saturday's attacks sparked two blazes at separate locations that left several firemen and a worker injured, Kuwait's fire service added.
"The repeated targeting of these vital facilities reveals a systematic hostile approach targeting civilian sites and vital infrastructure that endangers the lives and safety of civilians," the foreign ministry said.
Kuwait's state oil firm reported injuries and "significant material losses" after the attack on the oil facility, according to the state news agency Kuna.
It said the site had been evacuated.
The country's national carrier said air traffic at Kuwait International Airport had been temporarily suspended due to rocket and drone attacks, forcing most flights to be rescheduled.
