Kuwait condemns what it calls Iranian attack on power, water desalination facility

The Kuwaiti foreign ministry condemned on Sunday what it described as an Iranian attack on a power generation and water desalination facility, calling it a direct strike on vital civilian infrastructure. 

The repeated targeting of civilian facilities amounted to a dangerous escalation and violated international law, the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 2817, the ministry said in a statement. 

It said Iran bore full legal and moral responsibility for the attack and its consequences.
