Kuwaiti fire services rushed to the scene to combat the fires, reporting that several firemen and a facility worker sustained injuries in the line of duty.
Tensions in the Gulf region have escalated drastically following a second consecutive day of direct military actions.
Kuwaiti authorities confirmed a fresh Iranian strike on its vital infrastructure on Saturday morning, while neighbouring Bahrain launched air defence systems to repel a heavy, multi-wave aerial assault targeted primarily at a United States military installation.
For the second time in 48 hours, a critical Kuwaiti power and water distillation facility has been hit by what officials are calling a "hostile attack" by Iran.
According to Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity and Water, the Saturday morning strike triggered large blazes at two separate locations, forcing the deactivation of multiple key power generation units.
