Airstrikes have struck Kuwait’s water and energy infrastructure over several days. The attacks have hit desalination plants that provide most of the country’s drinking water. Kuwait depends on desalination for about 90 percent of its potable water supply. Damage to these facilities threatens the availability of safe water for civilians. Energy plants also suffered hits, potentially affecting power generation. The combined impact raises concerns about essential services for the population. Authorities and international observers are monitoring the situation closely. Ongoing attacks could exacerbate water scarcity and require emergency response measures.
