The General Directorate of Firefighting in Kuwait reported that several firefighters and one civilian sustained injuries during the first incident.

During the first incident several firefighters and a civilian worker were injured. The site was evacuated and the injured were transferred to receive the necessary medical attention.

Details regarding the extent of damage to the facilities remain unclear. However, five firefighting units, supported by emergency teams from the oil sector, are engaged at the first attacked site. Three additional teams are working to control the blaze at the second location. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy confirmed that an Iranian attack caused a fire at a power and water desalination plant, marking the second consecutive day these energy facilities have been targeted by the Islamic Republic.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attacks, stating that several U.S. soldiers were killed in new strikes against American military targets in Kuwait. The Guard announced operations targeting a "concentration point of aggressor forces in Arifjan (Kuwait)," claiming multiple fatalities. Another drone attack reportedly destroyed the radar at the U.S. base in Ali al Salem, along with an aircraft repair and maintenance hangar and a drone shelter.

Further retaliatory actions were reported in Bahrain and Jordan. The Revolutionary Guard also stated that drone and missile operations struck the U.S. fleet's fuel support and supply pier in the port of Al Ahmadi, Kuwait, and a concentration of enemy combat aircraft at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain. In response to the Iranian attacks, Kuwait Airways, the national carrier, announced that most of its flights have been rescheduled following a temporary suspension of operations at the country's airport.
