Iranian Strikes Hit Kuwait Power Facility

Kuwait says Iranian attacks have damaged another electricity and water facility, causing a fire and forcing several power units to be taken offline.

The Ministry of Electricity and Water said Saturday, July 18, 2026, that the strike was the second attack on a Kuwaiti power facility in two days.

Kuwait’s fire service reported that the attacks sparked fires at two locations, injuring several firefighters and a worker.

The country’s national carrier said flights were being rescheduled after rocket and drone attacks led to a temporary suspension of air traffic at Kuwait International Airport.

In neighbouring Bahrain, the military said its air defence systems repelled a wave of Iranian attacks, while residents in Manama reported hearing explosions after warning sirens.
