Explosions were also reported on Qeshm Island, while in Hormozgan province air strikes hit two bridges and a tunnel. The reciprocal attacks are directly affecting civilian infrastructure in both Iran and Kuwait, deepening the war's humanitarian toll.
A US strike in Iran damaged a water supply line, causing a regional cutoff, while a retaliatory Iranian strike caused water-supply damage in Kuwait. The reciprocal hits show the conflict has entered a phase directly targeting civilian infrastructure.
Explosions were reported on Qeshm Island, while air strikes in Hormozgan province hit two bridges and a tunnel, disrupting regional transport networks. Officials said repairs to the damage could take weeks.
Humanitarian organizations warn that strikes on water and transport infrastructure are having a growing impact on civilian populations, with restricted access to clean water raising health risks in both countries.
