The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry condemned on Sunday an Iranian attack on a power generation and water desalination facility, calling it a direct strike on vital civilian infrastructure.
The repeated targeting of civilian facilities amounted to a dangerous escalation and violated international law, the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 2817, the ministry said in a statement.
It said Iran bore full legal and moral responsibility for the attack and its consequences.
The United States launched more airstrikes at Iran on Sunday in response to the killing of US troops, and Iran fired missiles toward the region and Jordan that risked widening the conflict into neighboring Israel.
The US military said the latest strikes targeted Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard to retaliate for Friday's killing of troops in Jordan.
Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain again activated air defenses for incoming Iranian drones and missiles.
Kuwait said Sunday that Iran was targeting it with missile and drone strikes.
The country’s army said in a statement that its air defenses had been activated “following the sinful Iranian aggression.” The attacks came after more than a week of Iran and the United States trading strikes.
Chief of the General Staff said in a statement that Kuwait's “air defenses were intercepting hostile missiles and drones following a criminal Iranian aggression."
It said explosions that could be heard were the result of air defense systems intercepting the incoming attacks.
Authorities voiced calls on all citizens and residents to follow the security instructions issued by the relevant authorities and monitor official guidance. They have not so far reported any casualties or damage resulting from the attacks.
