Kuwait on Wednesday reported Iranian attacks that have been ongoing from 8am local time and damaged power and desalination plants as well as oil facilities, hours after a Iran-US truce came into effect.

“Since 8:00 AM (0500 GMT) today, Kuwaiti air defences have been engaging an intense wave of hostile Iranian attacks, dealing with 28 drones targeting the State of Kuwait,” Kuwait’s military said in a statement on X.

It said it “intercepted a large number of these hostile drones” but that the attacks caused “significant material damage to oil facilities, power plants and water desalination plants”.
