The Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy has announced late on Monday that seven overhead power lines in several areas of the country were taken out of service due to damage sustained from falling debris following air defence interceptions.
In a press release carried by KUNA, the ministry's official spokesperson, Eng. Fatima Jawhar Hayat, stated that the incident resulted in partial power outages in certain areas, noting that technical units are working to restore services expeditiously.
Kuwaiti air defense systems have also been intercepting hostile missiles and drones that breached the country's airspace early on Tuesday, announced Ministry of Defense Spokesman Colonel Staff Saud Al-Atwan.
