Iranian Drone Attack Damages Desalination Plant in Bahrain
(Wall Street Journal) Dov Lieber - An Iranian drone attack damaged a desalination plant in Bahrain, the Gulf state's Interior Ministry said Sunday. A day earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said the U.S. had attacked an Iranian desalination plant, which U.S. Central Command denied. In a region where many countries have limited onshore sources of fresh water, Bahrain is almost completely dependent on its plants for drinking water. On Saturday, a drone exploded near Dubai's airport, forcing the temporary suspension of flights. Fragments of another projectile hit a residential building in the touristy Dubai Marina neighborhood. Saudi Aramco's Berri oil field was targeted Saturday by a drone. Saudi officials also said the kingdom downed two ballistic missiles headed to a military base and intercepted several waves of drones headed for the Shaybah oil field. Two fuel tanks at Kuwait's main airport were hit by drones, Kuwait's Defense Ministry said Sunday.
