Worker Killed in Iranian Strike on Kuwait Power Plant
The ministry identified the fatality as an Indian national, marking the strike's first confirmed human casualty. Officials said the attack inflicted extensive damage to the plant's core infrastructure, threatening critical utilities in the Gulf state.
Emergency response teams were mobilized immediately under pre-established contingency plans to manage the fallout and maintain normal operations at the stricken facility. The ministry further disclosed that authorities are actively coordinating with security agencies and relevant bodies to secure the damaged site and prevent further risk.
The assault on Kuwaiti civilian infrastructure represents a significant and alarming expansion of Iran's retaliatory reach — striking not a military installation, but a facility directly responsible for supplying power and fresh water to the civilian population.
The attack is the latest eruption in a regional war ignited when Israel and the US launched a joint offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, a campaign that has now killed more than 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has waged an increasingly wide-ranging campaign of retaliation, unleashing drone and missile strikes against Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations hosting US military assets — a sustained offensive that has inflicted casualties, degraded critical infrastructure, rattled global markets, and disrupted international aviation across the region.
The killing of a civilian worker at a Kuwaiti utility plant signals that no sector — and no neighboring country — remains beyond the conflict's ever-expanding destructive reach.
