Kuwait Power Plant Fire Following Iranian Attack The Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy confirmed that a major fire broke out at the country’s key power and water production plant after an attack by Iran. The incident, which occurred during the early hours of the day, resulted in significant damage to the facility. According to officials, the attack targeted a critical component of the plant, leading to the fire that spread rapidly despite initial containment efforts. As part of precautionary measures, authorities temporarily shut down several electricity generation units at the plant to prevent further escalation. The ministry urged the public to reduce electricity usage between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. to ease the strain on the grid. Emergency response teams, including the General Fire Force and other government agencies, were deployed to control the blaze and ensure the safety of personnel and infrastructure. The ministry emphasized that all emergency protocols were activated immediately to safeguard the electricity and water distribution systems. Technical experts and operational teams have been monitoring the situation around the clock to assess the damage and restore functionality. Officials stated that the fire was brought under control, but full recovery and repairs will take time. In response to the security threat, Kuwait Airways suspended most of its international flights at the Kuwait International Airport. The decision was part of broader security measures to mitigate risks from ongoing missile and drone attacks. Passengers were advised to check their bookings for updates and remain informed through registered phone numbers. The incident occurred amid a series of missile and drone attacks targeting Kuwait, which have intensified in recent weeks.#iran #kuwait_international_airport #general_fire_force #kuwait_airways
