Israeli news outlet N12 reports that a fire broke out at a power plant and desalination facility in Kuwait after the Iranian attack. The report did not specify the extent of the damage or any casualties.
The Zioneer has previously covered similar reports of fires at strategic sites across the region following Iranian missile strikes. On July 13, local reports described a power plant attack in Ahvaz, southwest Iran. On June 11, NASA satellite imagery showed a fire near Isa Air Base in Bahrain after an Iranian missile attack. In July, analysts reported hits on American targets and fires in Kuwait, though those reports were also unverified.
This latest report from N12 remains unverified by independent sources. The timing and precise cause of the fire are not yet known.
