Kuwait says Iranian drones hit two power and desalination plants

Two power and water desalination planets in Kuwait have suffered "significant damage" after Iranian attacks early Sunday, its state media confirmed.

The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said two power generation units were also taken out of service.
