The authorities of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait have reported that the latest Iranian attacks have impacted, respectively, a petrochemical plant, a warehouse of the Bahraini national oil company, and several water desalination facilities in Kuwait, without any victims having been registered for the moment.

In the Emirates, the remains of several Iranian missiles intercepted in flight have fallen on the Borouge petrochemical plant and have originated various fire outbreaks, according to the official version. New subsequent bombings have forced to temporarily interrupt the work of the emergency teams that were trying to extinguish the flames.

In Bahrain, the fire has broken out in a warehouse of the state-owned company Bapco Energies and, according to the kingdom's official news agency, the fire is currently controlled by the firefighting services.

Finally, Kuwaiti official sources have indicated to the pan-Arab channel "Al Jazeera" that the Iranian attacks of recent hours have reached both energy infrastructures and desalination plants in the country. In addition, an installation of the state-owned company "Kuwaiti Petroleum" in southern Kuwait has been affected, where offices of the "Ministry of Oil of Kuwait" are located.
