Iran Strikes Kuwait Power Plant Amid Ongoing US-Iran Military Actions
Iran launched drone and missile strikes on Kuwait's Al-Subiya power generation and water desalination plant, causing a large fire and damaging multiple units. Kuwait intercepted several hostile missiles and drones during the attacks. The strikes are part of Iran's broader military campaign targeting critical Gulf infrastructure, reportedly in retaliation for recent US actions. Concurrently, the US conducted its ninth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets, with a US service member killed in northern Iraq during related operations.
