A worker was killed and a building belonging to a Chinese company in northern Kuwait was significantly damaged during an Iranian strike, Kuwait’s Defence Ministry said. Brig. Gen. Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, a ministry spokesperson, confirmed the attack and the resulting damage to the facility.
The incident forms part of a widening conflict between the United States and Iran that has extended to Gulf states through missile and drone attacks on infrastructure. Earlier strikes in the region have killed foreign workers and disrupted critical facilities.
In March, an attack on a desalination facility in Kuwait killed an Indian worker, according to the ministry. Officials have linked the recent targeting of the Chinese firm’s building to the broader pattern of strikes on sites perceived as connected to United States interests.
Kuwaiti authorities have not released further details on the identity of the worker killed in the latest incident or the extent of damage beyond describing it as significant. The ministry continues to monitor developments amid ongoing regional tensions.
