Kuwait sustained the most significant damage with strikes on power generation and water desalination facilities, the Ministries Complex, Oil Ministry building, and Kuwait Petroleum Corporation facilities. Bahrain's GPIC petrochemical units and BAPCO storage tank were hit by drones. UAE's Borouge plant in al Ruwais experienced fires from interception debris, and a container vessel at Khor Fakkan Port was hit, injuring four crew.
