Kuwait on Saturday said Iran struck another of its power and water plants, leading to several power generation units being deactivated, a day after a similar attack.

"Another electricity and water distillation plant was targeted by a hostile attack that led to a fire erupting in one of the plant's components," Kuwait's ministry of electricity and water said in a statement.

It is the second attack on a power and water plant in as many days, with the first on Friday causing a fire and damage at the facility.

Kuwait's fire service said attacks by Iran on Saturday sparked blazes at two locations, with several firemen and a worker injured.

The country's national carrier said most of its flights were being rescheduled as air traffic had been temporarily suspended at Kuwait International Airport due to rocket and drone attacks.
