An Indian worker has been killed in an Iranian attack on a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait as tensions in the Middle East remain high.
According to Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, a service building at the facility suffered significant damage during the strike.
“A service building at one of the power and water desalination plants was attacked as part of the Iranian aggression against the State of Kuwait. This resulted in the death of one worker (of Indian nationality) and significant material damage to the building,” the ministry said in a statement.
Technical and emergency teams were deployed immediately to manage the aftermath and maintain the plant’s operational capacity. “This was carried out in full coordination with security and relevant authorities to secure the affected site,” the statement added.
The ministry urged the public to remain calm and avoid spreading rumours, assuring that official updates would be communicated transparently as the situation evolves.
It further emphasised that ensuring the stability and safety of electricity and water systems remains a top priority, with technical teams working around the clock to anticipate potential contingencies and ensure the uninterrupted delivery of essential services.
