In response to the US military attack, Iran attacked water plants and power plants in Kuwait, which highlights that the Middle East conflict is worsening and civilian facilities are increasingly under threat. The Kuwaiti government said on Friday that a seawater desalination and power plant was attacked and several generator sets were damaged. Although such facilities in Kuwait were attacked at the height of the US-Iran war from March to early April, this was the first time that Tehran targeted electricity infrastructure during the latest escalation of the conflict. Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity and Water said on X that the relevant departments are working to get the damaged unit back in operation and have put out a fire caused by the attack. The Ministry urges residents to conserve electricity to ease the pressure on the grid. As one of the hottest countries in the world, Kuwait's electricity grid is usually under heavy load during the summer. The country is likely to experience a high temperature of 50 degrees Celsius this weekend.
