ISLAMABAD — Kuwait said Tuesday that Iran had again attacked power and desalination plants critical to the tiny desert nation.

The statement from Kuwait’s Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy Ministry said that Tehran had struck the plants for a fourth day in a row on Monday night.

It said the attacks sparked fires and caused damage. It said it was working to repair the sites.

Some 90% of Kuwait’s drinking water comes from desalination.
