Iran continues to retaliate against US bombardment with attacks across the Gulf region.
– “As a result of the heinous Iranian aggression on Kuwait, a power and water distillation plant – for the second time in two days – has been subjected to an attack that caused a fire in some facilities of the station,” the Kuwaiti ministry of electricity, water and renewable energy said in a statement on X.
– Firefighters are working to extinguish the blaze, it said. International law explicitly bans making civilian sites the “object of attack or of reprisals”.
– Last week the US bombed a water facility in southern Iran leaving 10,000 people without drinking water.
– Iran, which is less dependent on desalination plants for drinking water than some of its Gulf neighbours, has threatened civilian infrastructure across the region if its own facilities are targeted by the US.
