KUWAIT CITY: Kuwaiti authorities are working to restore key energy and water facilities after a series of heavy Iranian missile and drone attacks caused damage to critical infrastructure, officials said.
The attacks, which targeted areas linked to oil production, power generation and military installations, disrupted essential services in parts of the country and raised concerns about regional energy security.
According to Kuwaiti officials, emergency teams have been deployed to repair damaged facilities and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Some oil installations and utility sites suffered structural damage, while firefighters and technical crews worked around the clock to contain the impact.
Kuwait’s oil sector, a cornerstone of the country’s economy, was among the areas affected. Authorities have not disclosed the full extent of the damage but said efforts are underway to ensure that energy production and exports continue without major interruptions.
Water and electricity services in some areas were also impacted, prompting officials to implement contingency plans to maintain supplies to residents and businesses.
The attacks come amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, with Gulf nations increasingly concerned about the potential spillover effects of the conflict on regional stability and vital infrastructure.
Kuwaiti authorities emphasized that safeguarding energy facilities, water networks and public services remains a top priority, while security measures around strategic installations have been strengthened.
Analysts warn that any prolonged disruption to Gulf energy infrastructure could affect global oil markets, as the region plays a critical role in international energy supplies.
